In order to participate in experiments at FriLab, you have to register in our database using the lab's online recruitment system. With your registration, you declare your interest in participating in experiments conducted by the FriLab.

Rules

• You must be at least 18 years old.
• You can only register once in the FriLab database. Registering multiple accounts undermines our scientific research. Any participant found with more than one profile will be excluded from all future studies.
• A certain number of registered people will receive an invitation email to each experiment. Only invited people are allowed to take part in an experiment.
• If you receive an invitation email, you must respond affirmatively in order to participate. Your registration for an experimental session is binding.
• Every participant who registered for an experiment and arrived at the laboratory on time will receive at least a compensation of 4 CHF.
• Participants will usually be compensated in cash based on decisions they make during the experiment, decisions other participants make or based on random chance mechanisms.
• During an experiment, participants must follow the directives of the researchers and the rules outlined in the instructions of the experiment. No deception is allowed for studies conducted via the FriLab. This means that everything that is described in the instructions of an experiment, for example concerning your payments, has to be the truth.
• In order to ensure that only registered participants enter an experiment, every participants has to bring an identification document such as an ID or a campus card. A participant who is not able to identify him- or herself does not receive the minimum compensation of 4 CHF and will possibly not be able to participate in the experiment.
• Please note that not showing up for an experiment for which you registered or showing up too late can lead to the cancellation of an entire experimental session due to an insufficient number of participants. Not showing up repeatedly (without prior cancellation) can ultimately lead to an exclusion from future experiments.

• All data collected during recruitment is stored on a server that is accessible only to FriLab researchers and staff at the IT department of the University of Fribourg. These data are used only for the purpose of organizing the recruitment of participants at FriLab. Experimental data will never be transferred to third parties. We use the data for the following purposes:
  • to inform participants about new experiments and invite them to take part
  • to possibly select participants for certain studies according to scientifically motivated characteristics
  • to check (non) show-ups of registered participants at each experimental session
• Participation is voluntary. Every participants can decide at any point to not receive any further invitations for experiments.
• A participant has the right to have his or her data deleted from the recruitment system if he/she wishes to do so. In this case, please send a written demand to

• All data generated during an experiment is anonymous.
• Decisions are recorded and saved anonymously and cannot be linked to a person. Specifically, each participant is assigned a randomly generated ID number when entering and experiment and data from experiments can at no point be linked to personal data stored in the recruitment system. The anonymous experimental data will be analysed and used for scientific research, including publications in scientific journals and public talks.
With your registration you declare your agreement with the rules of FriLab as well as with its data policies.
