How to make money from Psychology Research Studies

They get to pick your brain, you get paid!

Psychology majors study the science of behavior and mental processes, and to do this, they need people to study. If you are willing to participate in these studies, you will often be compensated for your time. Here is a quick guide to how to make money by participating in Psychology research studies.

Step 1: Find the Studies
Check various posting boards around your university for fliers advertising paid studies. Make sure to check around in the Psychology building. You can also contact Psychology professors and let them know if they need a subject for a study you are willing to participate if compensated.

Step 2: Participate in the Studies
After finding the studies you are able to be a part of, simply show up when you are told to or answer the survey sent to you. Its often like taking a test with no wrong answers or interviewing for a position you don't care anything about. Keep in mind when participating in studies, the more the study asks of you, the more they will be willing to pay. Interviews pay more than questionnaires, and being hooked up to any machine will usually pay more than a simple interview.

Step 3: Get Paid
You get paid for your time and they get to study your actions and thoughts. It's that simple.

  1. Aside from research studies, focus groups for companies and television studios are also a great way to earn some extra money. All the large studios and television networks like, Fox and WB have focus groups where they will pay you to preview a show or movie.

    Microsoft also holds usability surveys where they have you take part in a study. Its great, you get an inside look into the new technology that they are developing. I go to school in Seattle and have been over to the Microsoft headquarters a few times after registering at microsoft.com/usability. As part of the compensation you are able to chose one (sometimes more) item from a gratuity list consisting of everything from video games, Microsoft products, and computer accessories ranging in value from $29.99 all the way up to $999.99!
