About The Position

Mindrift is recruiting adults in the Santa Clara Valley (South Bay) area for a paid, in-person research study about communication and interaction in everyday group conversations. Participants join a guided conversation with 2–4 people, led by a trained moderator, and discuss non-sensitive everyday topics. The session lasts approximately 90 minutes and is recorded on video and audio for research purposes.

Participation is voluntary and covered by a signed consent form explaining the study and how recordings are used and stored. Participants may ask questions at any time and may withdraw. Eligible applicants register on Mindrift and complete a short screening questionnaire; those who qualify are invited to book a session. Each person participates once, and prior participation in the study makes someone ineligible. Sessions take place in person on weekdays from November 2026 through March 2027. Participants receive $110 after completing the session. Travel costs are not covered.
