Are you Deaf or Hard of Hearing? This post is for you! We are conducting a study investigating factors that influence face perception and decision making in Deaf, HOH, and hearing adults.
Would you be willing to help? The study takes 20 minutes and is completely online (on a laptop – it won’t work on a mobile device). As a thank you for your participation, you can submit your email address into a draw to receive one of ten $20 Starbucks gift cards.
If you’re willing to help, please click the link below for more information and to proceed.
We plan to share the results from our study at national and international conferences, and once data collection is completed, we will write a manuscript that will be submitted to be published in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
Also, please share post with any friends or relatives who might be interested and/or willing to participate.

The performance will be live-streamed to our Facebook event page.
