Climate conversations: Sign-up

Thanks for your interest in participating in this study on climate conversations! Climate activists, please fill out this sign-up form with your chosen conversational partner. Please find an overview of the study below.

PROJECT DETAILS

The goal of this study is to understand how having conversations about climate change affects people's attitudes and behaviors. The study consists of 4-5 brief (~10 minute) online surveys and 3 video-recorded conversations about climate change (1 hour-long conversation and 2 half hour-long follow-up conversations). Each conversation will be between you and your chosen conversational partner. The total expected time commitment per person is 3 hours.

ELIGIBILITY

You and your conversational partner must both live in the U.S. and be at least 13 years old (under 18 will require parental consent). You can choose a friend, family member, romantic partner, or anyone else you'd like to talk to as your conversational partner. However, your conversational partner must not currently be involved in climate action (although it's okay if they were in the past).

PAYMENT

You will each receive $90 for your participation in the study as a whole, in the form of a gift card or a donation to an organization of your choice. Payments will be made by the conclusion of the study (approximately 5 months from the date of the first conversation).
