Abstract
The Change Seeker Index was administered to a group of introductory psychology students who had volunteered to participate in a research study and to classes in introductory psychology in which most of the students did not volunteer. The volunteers received significantly higher scores suggesting that the use of volunteers might introduce a systematic bias in studies where “change seeking” could be a confounding variable.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
