We require female participants aged 18 years and over, who currently own an iPhone (iOS 7.1 or higher) or an Android smartphone (Android v4.1 or higher) for a five day study on emotions, behaviours, and objectifying events

In this project, you will come to the lab for an induction session, in which you will complete a short questionnaire. During this session you will also download an app (SEMA) onto your smartphone. The SEMA app will be programmed to beep 13 times per day (during your waking hours e.g., 10am-midnight) and on each beep will ask you to complete a short 1-2 minute survey about your experiences and emotions. During this time, you will engage in your usual daily activities, and simply complete the survey when the app alerts you to.

After the five days have finished, you will be provided a link to complete a final short questionnaire that you can fill out at home. You will also be fully debriefed about the study, and compensated for your participation.

Over the course of the five days, the total time commitment for this study is 2 hours 30 minutes. Upon completion of the study, you will be mailed a $50 Coles Myer Gift Card (with potential entry into a raffle for one of 15 additional $50 Coles Myer Gift Card depending on completion rates; maximum payment value of $100).

If you are interested in participating in this study, or would like more information, please contact Dr. Elise Holland at emotion.sema@gmail.com
