- Subjects: Population sample
- N must be over 500, preferably 2,000
- Ideally genetically informative
- Recruitment
- Students
- Public advertisements
- Content: There will be a set of basic features that will be tested at the outset
- Need to compromise on this. Perhaps 2-hours of testing in the first instance?
- NEO or equivalent + WAIS subset or equivalent
- Nice to have a mobile, health, and other experience-sampling element
- Pool Durability
- Some people will remain in the sample over time
- As as result, they will be increasingly well described in terms of all sorts of psychological, demographic and possibly physiological features
- Access: Staff, PG, and UG students
- Just need ethics
- ALL data to be uploaded and shared
- The subject pool will not be linked to any particular research topic, group or people, though it needs somebody to manage it
- All data interlinked to avoid the need to test same features repeatedly
- Resources
- New recruitment needed each year to remain active target n of 1000 or so.
- Future studies may or may not pay participants, as per their possibilities and needs
- Participants will be payed £5-10 to join the subject pool.
- In addition to completing the basic measures, we expect some sort of commitment to be accessible for further measurements for some time
- Implication: Need budget. £10,000/annum base funding from PPLS? (1000* £10) Starter funds = £20,000?
- Funding
- PPLS and HSS
- ESRC Economics wants to join in if it's got twins!
- Generation Scotland?
- Benefits
- Grants
- Recruitment into MSc
- Quality of MSc experience
- Hons research 10×easier
- Intervention studies/Pilot work for grants
