Why should I get myself added to the listings
database?

By adding your
information to the listings database, you accomplish a number of things.
First, you obtain an immediate web presence that allows anyone in the
world (connected to the internet) to view your information. Got a
better way to do something? Can you do something that nobody else
can? Do you want potential clients to be able to find you?
Want a speaker's bureau or a conference organizer to be able to find
you? Our "Service Seeker" makes it easy, but it can't help you if
your information isn't in the database. Second, it allows others
to send your profile to their colleagues or friends when they discover
you. Third, we can supply you with an optional email security
package that will allow you to receive emails and attachments from
others without any requirement to publicly share your personal email
address. Fourth, you can use your listing to supply an internet
link to your own web page! Fifth, by using this service, you
access our strength in numbers and skill in maximizing internet
exposure. Finally (and most importantly) it gives us another ally
that we can find!
2. I don't evaluate my work but I'd like to learn how. Can you help? Wonderful!
Go to our discussion area and ask other prosocial scientists like
yourself! Furthering your prosocial goals is our mission in life, so please don't hesitate to let us know what we can do to help.
Just ask! In time, we hope you'll find useful test instruments here too! Back to Top
3. Why do I need to register in
order to use the discussion boards? Registration
involves selecting a username and a password. This is free and is
needed for the administration of the boards - there is no breach of
confidentiality, nor is there any economic advantage to Prosocial
Science for getting you to register. In order for the boards to be
moderated (to keep "spammers" and disrespectful people out, a method of granting access (or removing it) is needed.
We know it's a pain, but it's the only way we can keep out some pretty
nasty unsolicited stuff.

I'm a test author - do you really want to highlight my work? Yes we do. If you are a social scientist who can contribute to our overall mission in some way with a measurement instrument that you own, we would like to look at your work. If we think the instrument is sound and we are both interested, we will discuss the terms of publication with you. We are hoping to help cover the production costs and the costs associated with this site, not to get rich. We will create a custom-made software application for you, and together with the relevant documentation, distribute it on this site.

5. I don't get it... how do I add
my information to the database? Piece of cake.
Just go to the "Service Search" page, and click on the glowing
invitation at the bottom of the page. This link will take you to a
form that you can fill out that will let us know what you would like to
say in your profile. Back to Top
6. Free? What's the catch?
Yup! We are doing our very best to provide
everything to you, the general public and anyone else using this website
for free - because we believe that it's the right thing to do.
Of course, it costs us money to provide the site and its
services, so we are hoping to cover our costs another way. We have
sponsors on our site, and whenever someone follows a link from our page
and purchases something from one of them, we earn a small commission
that we will put toward maintaining the site. If you like the site
and would like to help us, please think of us when you need to purchase
a book, plan a trip, or get office supplies. See our "Shopping"
area and comparison shop - we're affiliated with some pretty impressive
services! |
