Can I run a pilot study using Psych 1 participants?
The IRB does not allow studies to be run before experimenters receive IRB protocol approval. Pilot studies are studies conducted using less than 10 people and in which the data is not used for research. They are simply to test questionnaires or data prior to an experiment. These are not applicable to anyone with access to the Psych 1 Q-Day. If you are considering a pilot study, please email the Human Subject Coordinator (hscoordinator@lists.stanford.edu) so you can receive more details. Back to top.
