Frequently asked questions
How do I participate in an in-person study?
First, apply to a study! The researcher will review applications and select participants for the study. If you’re selected, you’ll receive a scheduling email allowing you to confirm a date and time to participate. Once confirmed, you’ll receive information about the session’s location. In-person studies are most commonly at a company’s office, but may also be at an offsite location like a coffee shop or at your home or workplace.
What do I need to do to be prepared for an in-person study?
The most important part of an in-person study is giving yourself plenty of time to get to the location, park, and get to the designated meeting spot before your session. Promptness is key! You’ll want to attend the session alone (unless otherwise specified), in appropriate attire, and be prepared with any deliverables the researcher may have specified in their instructions.
What is a focus group?
Focus groups involve interacting with a small group of your peers. The research team may share a prompt and ask the group to discuss a topic, show the group a design or prototype and ask for feedback, or have the group test a product. Focus groups are great for participants who are outspoken and enjoy collaborating with others.

For online focus groups, you’ll receive an online meeting link. Zoom is the most popular online meeting tool on User Interviews!

How and when are incentive payments distributed?
You’ll see the incentive type and amount before applying to a study. The incentive will be paid out within 10 business days (usually much sooner) once you’ve successfully participated in and completed your session.
