(March 2024) Listener Research Participation Opportunity: Simulation-Based Training of Active Listening Skills

At this second stage, we are seeking feedback on several versions of Simulated Support Seeker. As a participant, you will be invited to interact with a Simulated Support Seeker and evaluate sample dialogues for their believability and usefulness.

Ethical Considerations: The research team and this current study aim to enhance the listener experience while preserving the vital role of human connection on the platform. We strongly believe in the power of human support and do not intend to replace human interaction in any way.

This study focuses on the development of a Member Bot that can serve as a practice tool for listeners who might want to refine their active listening skills. To ensure ethical and responsible development, the research team seeks your valuable feedback on the potential benefits and potential drawbacks of this tool.

The study will take approximately 1 hour to complete and you will be compensated with a $25 Amazon gift card for your participation.

• Must be 18 years of age or older.
