Recruiting participants for mindfulness and safe driving study

Researchers in the Media Mind Lab in the Murrow College of Communication at Washington State University are recruiting participants for a lab experiment investigating the role of mindfulness in safe driving. The study is located in Goertzen Hall on the Pullman campus. We’re looking for participants who meet the following criteria:

  • Age 25–35
  • Have a current valid driver’s license
  • Drive a vehicle at least three different times in a typical week

Participants will need to attend a scheduled appointment to complete the study at the Media Mind Lab in Goertzen Hall on the WSU Pullman campus. This study involves the collection of physiological measures. This will involve placing sensors on your hand, forearms, and scalp. During the experiment, you will view a video clip, listen to an audio recording, and complete a driving experience in a virtual driving simulator. The entire session will last approximately one hour. Participants will be given a $35 electronic gift card as compensation for participation.

Please complete a brief questionnaire to verify eligibility to participate and sign up for an appointment to participate.

Please contact Dr. Paul Bolls (pbolls@wsu.edu), the lead researcher for this study if you have any questions.
