2. How different personality might effect our hearing

Members of the NeuralPC Lab at URI are interested in testing the influence of individual differences on auditory processing. For that reason, we are seeking individuals to participate in a brief research study with the goal to gain insight into how often people experience phenomena that could influence auditory processing.
Participants are asked to voluntarily complete a 22-item questionnaire that measures how often people experience phenomena that could influence auditory processing. The questions can be accessed by clicking on the below link and which will open a new window with the questionnaire in Qualtrics. Completing the questionnaire will take about 10 minutes. If you decide to participate you can opt-in to be entered into a $100 raffle. You can also opt-in to be contacted by our research team for a future follow-up study. If you opt-in to the raffle and/or future contact, we will also ask you to share with us your name and contact information (email address and/or phone number), so that we can contact you.
