We need to do research to better understand the dynamics of our movement.

Members:

I have created a group “research subject wannabes”. If you are interested in being a research subject please join that group. Interested researchers may contact you on this site for a research project. It is totally up to you if you want to participate in any research project.

If you do, please take responsibility for understanding the possible risks of being a research subject. Do your homework. There are many universities that have information about being a research subject online. For instance:

Should I take part in a research study?

CLOWNSFORPEACE.ORG. HAS NO RESPONSIBILITY TO HELP YOU MAKE A DECISION TO BE A RESEARCH SUBJECT.

THIS IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.

 

Researchers:

Micko’s goal is to make it easy and safe for researchers to connect with members of clownsforpeace.org to do research.

Micko has created a group “research subject wannabes’ on this site that is open to members. You will need to join the site, then you can join the group and seek subjects. Micko has told members to join this group if they are interested in being a research subject. Please: treat these clowns with respect and with no pressure!

Once you are at that stage Micko will post a message to all members about your research project and remind them to join the group “research subject wannabes’ if they are interested.

 

PLEASE ONLY SEEK SUBJECTS FROM THAT GROUP! 

PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT CLOWNS WHO ARE NOT IN THAT GROUP!

 

Feel free to create new groups for your research projects.

If there is anything Micko can do to facilitate your research, please let Micko know.

 

DISCLAIMER: CLOWNSFORPEACE.ORG WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACTIONS OF RESEARCHERS OR RESEARCH SUBJECTS. HOWEVER, MICKO WILL ATTEMPT TO HELP RESOLVE ANY ISSUES BUT WILL DISENROLL ANY MEMBER WHO BECOMES DISRESPECTFUL.
