Participating in studies
From this page, you can choose to participate in studies by selecting the study you want from the list of available studies on the left side of the page, and then clicking "Take part in this study" when it appears on the right side of the page. The study will also show options for "Not Interested" to remove the study from your list, "Report Study," and "Block Researcher."
The "Take part in this study" button temporarily reserves your spot in the study. It takes you to a page where you can either start the study or cancel your reservation.
The "Not Interested" button removes the study from your studies list. This action only applies to that specific study and won't affect future studies from that researcher or others. Once clicked, the study cannot be restored to your studies page.
The "Report Study" button lets you alert Prolific about study issues, such as requests for inappropriate personal information or suspicious questions.
The "Block Researcher" button prevents all studies from that researcher from appearing in your studies list. You can unblock a researcher if you change your mind or make a mistake. See How do I block/unblock a researcher? for help with this.
Waiting for studies
If no studies are currently available for you, your studies page will show the Prolific mug to let you know that you are waiting for studies. This page will automatically refresh to show you any new studies that become available.
