Zoom Speed Dating FAQs:

What will my participation look like?

You will be asked to complete an online pre-event questionnaire and attend two Zoom speed dating events one week apart. The events will last 60-90 minutes. During the Zoom event you will have a brief date with up to 8 other participants making ratings of your interaction partners, self, and conversations. After the fist Zoom event, you will then have the option to opt into a second date with any of your interaction partners for the second event the following week. We will also ask that you complete a follow-up survey two weeks after the final event. You will also be asked to provide, with their permission, contact information (i.e., email addresses) of three people who know you well so they can fill out a brief questionnaire about you online.

How will I be compensated?

You will be compensated $20 for completing the pre-event questionnaire and attending the first event, $20 for attending the second event, and $10 for completing the follow-up questionnaire. Compensation will be paid in the form of an online gift card to your choice of Amazon.ca or Starbucks Canada.

Who is eligible to participate?

You must be aged 18 to 30 and currently live in Kelowna or Vancouver, BC, Canada. You must also be able to complete questionnaires and conversations in English. All genders and sexual orientations are welcome but you must be single or in a nonexclusive relationship.

What do I need to be able to participate?

You must have access to a computer with a webcam and microphone, as well as a stable internet connection in order to complete the study. If you know someone else who is participating, please do not sign up for the same time slot as them, as this is a study on first impressions.
