Participants can always be compensated with course credit (=Versuchsscheine) if they are psychology students. They can choose between course credit or money only if the project is funded through a grant (please discuss with Natalia in due time if this is the case).

Course credit

Download the form available on the Insitute’s sharepoint and fill it out with your study’s data (study name, your name, supervisor’s name).
Print some forms (number equal to the number of participants you will test)
Put a round stamp on each form in the Testothek (Universitätsplatz 2, top floor)
Once a subject finished the experiment, fill out the rest of the data, put a date, sign, and give it to the subject.

Reimbursement

Reimbursement is done via the bank transfer by the University to participants’ bank accounts. Therefore, it is useful to warn them that it will take some weeks until they receive the money. To start the reimbursement process, follow these steps.

Fill out one row per participant with the information they provided (you can create your own dedicated form for that). Ask Natalia for the correct value of the Innenauftrag field, since this varies from study to study.
- The study name can not exceed a certain number of symbols, so please keep it short (fMRI studies can use their MRI lab abbreviations: pacmond, clav, deka, etc.)
- Note: Although it may seem meaningless, you need to get bot IBAN and BIC from you subject (even if they try to convince you otherwise).
- Attention! The bank information should be 100% correct, otherwise there is an administrative disaster. Therefore, triple-check with participants.
Once you collect a sufficient number of participants, or once every 1-2 weeks, send this sheet to the secretary’s office, and they will take care of the rest.
