SONA Research Participation System

The School of Psychology uses the SONA Systems Research Management System to monitor experiments and participants in the Psychology Research Participant Scheme (PRPS).

All Psychology students can take part in experiments via SONA through which they earn course credits for their methodology courses (Levels 1-3) and thesis courses (Level 4). Final-year thesis students and staff can recruit participants from SONA.

Below are the links to SONA for participants and researchers. Also provided is a link to the PRPS proforma which researchers must submit online with the ethics application if there is an intention to recruit via SONA.
