On-Line Research Study about Judgement and Decision Making in OCD
Do you suffer from OCD? As you certainly know, many people suffering from OCD find judgment and decision-making a challenge. Considering that we all make numerous judgments and decisions every day, this area warrants further study. Please help researchers at the University of Pennsylvania learn more about judgment and decision-making and OCD.
To be eligible, you must be 18 years old.
If you would like to participate, please complete the anonymous 15-minute survey at www.psych.upenn.edu/~jsiev/study.
