  • Summary

    Social and personality psychologists have conducted surveys and experiments online for nearly twenty-five years. Researchers have used the Internet to ask questions about a wide range of topics, including racial bias, personality development, and attitude change. The frequency of conducting internet research has increased over time and understanding how to conduct online research has become a critical skill for psychologists. This chapter provides a general introduction to conducting survey and experimental research online. We outline how researchers can host and program internet studies, as well as their options for recruiting participant samples. We also cover important issues that researchers should consider about data quality, representativeness, generalizability, and upholding ethical standards. Throughout the chapter we discuss practices and guidelines that we view as optimal at the current time, and direct readers to additional literature that can further inform their thinking.
