Dear JDM Members:
    I have just set up a small experiment on the web, designed to
replicate a few trials from a series of much larger, laboratory studies
of choice behavior.  I am interested in the following questions: Are the
data of decision making studies, obtained in experimental labs with
intro. psych students replicated with less structured (but easy to set
up) web survey procedures?  Do results depend strongly on demographic
characteristics of the participants, such as age, gender, education, and
nationality?  I would like to recruit faculty, grad students,
undergrads, and especially the general, adult populations from all
nations to participate in the survey.  The survey takes less than 10 min
for most people, and it offers participants a chance to win cash prizes
up to $110.  It deals with choices between gambles. When the survey is
completed, 1% of participants (and no less than 2) will be chosen
randomly to play one of the gambles they chose (all gambles have
non-negative outcomes, so these are purely favorable gambles to play).
    Please publicize the survey to colleagues, students, and others.
Please forward this message to people who might be interested or to any
mailing lists to which you may belong.
    The address of the survey is:

    Members of the Society for Judgment and Decision Making are also
invited to take the survey; please mention that you're a member of JDM
in the Comments field, as I would obviously want to analyze members'
data separately. If you can help recruit "civilians" (i.e.,
non-academic, general population adults), I would also be most grateful.
    Thanks, and good luck, Michael
