Rules

Participation in the research carried out at BLESS is REMUNERATED in the form of an expense allowance. The amount depends on the duration of the experiment, on your own decisions and on those of the other participants in the activity. During the activity, each participant must follow the rules set out by the researchers in the instructions.

For each activity, a slightly larger number of people are usually invited than can actually take part. However, a FIXED EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT is provided for those who were invited, registered and arrived on time, but were unable to take part in the activity due to laboratory capacity constraints or other technical reasons.

To ensure that only invited participants can take part, we ask that you bring with you to the laboratory A PHOTO IDENTITY DOCUMENT and your TAX CODE CARD. Without a valid identity document, you will not be able to take part or receive the attendance allowance.

Participation is subject to the following RULES.

1. For each activity, an invitation email will be sent to people who have previously registered. ONLY THOSE WHO HAVE RECEIVED THE INVITATION E-MAIL are entitled to take part in the research.

2. If you received an invitation e-mail:

1. IF YOU WISH TO TAKE PART in a specific activity, you must REGISTER. By registering, you COMMIT to taking part. You can cancel your registration directly via this website up to 24 hours before the session. If, for any reason, you are unable to attend the session, please let us know as soon as possible by emailing dipdse.bless@unibo.it.

Those who have registered but do not turn up or arrive late may result in the cancellation of the entire session due to a lack of participants.

For this reason, anyone who registers but does not attend at the specified time will receive a record of an unjustified absence. Having such records on your profile may reduce your chances of being invited to future studies. You can write to dipdse.bless@unibo.it explaining which unforeseeable events prevented you from informing us of your absence in good time.

AFTER THREE UNEXCUSED ABSENCES, you will no longer be invited to take part in further research.

2. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO TAKE PART, simply ignore the invitation; this will have no impact on future invitations or your participation in future activities.

By registering, you agree to the following:

I have been informed that if I fail to attend or arrive late for a session for which I have registered, this may result in the session being cancelled, with consequences for all the other people who did attend. I am aware that any time I fail to attend a study for which I have registered (without giving sufficient notice or providing valid reasons), a note will be made on my personal reputation record. Once I have accumulated three such notes, I will lose the right to be invited to further studies.
