We are always looking for healthy adults ages 60+ to participate in research studies on emotion and adult development. Typical studies include tasks on the computer, questionnaires, some cognitive tests (like a vocabulary test), and sometimes having your eyes tracked while doing a task on the computer. Studies typically take 1-2 hours to complete. If you are eligible for a study, we will schedule a convenient time for you come into the lab at the University of Akron to participate. Volunteers will be paid. For more information, please call: (330) 972-6564.

We are currently recruiting participants for several studies.
