description | Participant pools have long served the needs of researchers at Canadian universities seeking easy access to participants. In providing this service, participant pools overcame substantial criticism pertaining to psychology's overreliance on undergraduate students as research participants. Participant pools now face new and more challenging threats: changing student demographics, declining motivation by students to participate in research, perceiving research participation as coercive, questioning of the educational value of participation, and increasingly popular alternatives to participant pool recruitment. We argue participant pools are worth preserving for the benefit of students at all levels and because participant pools have substantial value to the research enterprise. We regard the key to preserving pools is to highlight and fortify their educational value, and we offer concrete suggestions as to how participant pools housed in Canadian psychology departments can be strengthened.
Les bassins de participants ont longtemps comblé, avec facilité, les besoins de certains chercheurs dans les universités canadiennes. En fournissant ce service, ils ont surmonté d'importantes critiques au sujet de la trop grande dépendance de la psychologie sur des étudiants de premier cycle en tant que sujets de recherches. Les bassins de participants font maintenant l'objet de nouvelles menaces des plus sérieuses : modification démographique du corps étudiant, baisse de l'intérêt des étudiants à participer aux recherches, coercition perçue dans la participation à la recherche, doutes au sujet de la valeur éducative de la participation et solutions de rechange de plus en plus populaires pour recruter des participants. Nous faisons valoir qu'il vaut la peine de préserver les bassins de participants d'une part, parce qu'ils profitent aux étudiants de tous les niveaux, et d'autre part, parce que les bassins ont une valeur importante pour la recherche. Nous avançons que la façon de préserver les bassins est de mettre en valeur et de renforcer leur valeur éducative. Nous suggérons des moyens concrets de consolider les bassins de participants dans les départements de psychologie des universités canadiennes. |
