VAPERS NEEDED FOR RESEARCH STUDY

[Vaperspective]

Are you 18 years of age or older?
Have you used an electronic cigarette/electronic vaping device in the past month?

We are looking for vapers to describe their experiences with vaping, including positive, exciting, and enjoyable aspects of vaping in an online study. Participants will be compensated for their time.

For more information, email vaperspective [at] vcu.edu


Virginia Commonwealth University, Department of Psychology

Dept. of Psychology?

Building a profile on vapers?
What could possibly go wrong?

We will need a lot more information on the "Study".

doesn't sound very scientific. Our ramblings can't be quantified. I made a faint hearted effort to find a web page about this. Nothing so far.

There are no details. Saying they are paying money could just mean, how much money would it take for you to be a sell out? I won't be helping anyone whose goal might be to hurt what I care about. Now that I think about it, the ONLY medical researcher I trust on this topic is Dr F. If he checks this out and says we should consider participating then, ok. Otherwise...

Not trying to start a debate but what if the information is able to be used for a positive side of vaping? If Honest people participate it could be beneficial to the whole vaping community.

Shoulda like someone

I would love to be involved but would need more accurate information.

Psychological profiles like these are rarely used for anything good.

They are usually ineffective and biased, and used to make sweeping generalizations.


What's the purpose of the study?

What's the question the study seeks to answer?

Dropped them an email...............will see what I can add.

I wrote to the email address and got an automated response as follows.

"Thank you for your interest in the Vaperspective Study! If there are spots available we will contact you within 2 business days. If you do not receive an email back within that time frame, either you are not eligible or there are no longer spots available in the study. Thank you for your time.

Have a great day,

Vaperspective Study Staff"

An introduction from you would have been a good step.

So, welcome to the forum research guys.

If you don't get that email in two days it will be because you aren't one of the cool vapers. Hopefully you can live with yourself after that.

I signed up! Between the people from the FBI and the Lincoln Park Zoologists, I'm used to being studied.

I trust NO ONE..

 

[LouisLeBeau]

I trust NO ONE..

How do we know that this is actually YOU posting?

Email sent to study!

 

[Scottitude]

Yeah, I think it's a little suspect that the auto-response cites eligibility as a requirement for participation but lists no criteria to meet the requisite eligibility.

Absent said criteria, it's reasonable to conclude that participation may be limited to individuals whose online or social media comments are consistent with Vaperspective's desired outcome.

Nonetheless, I sent an email.

 

[sofarsogood]

I got a second email asking my age, what US time zone I'm in and when I'm available to talk by phone. I responded with that information.

 

[Scottitude]

Well, that's promising.

Do let us know how the call goes, if you can.
