Abstract
A nationally funded online laboratory as infrastructure for research: Results of a needs and opinion assessment We present the results of an opinion and needs assessment for a nationally funded online laboratory to aid research in psychology and in related disciplines. Such an online laboratory should provide a large participant pool, should offer access to and interfaces with software to conduct Internet-based studies, provide education on research methodologies, and should connect with a data archive. The assessment was conducted among psychologists working in academia and among other researchers potentially interested in a research infrastructure of this kind. More than 85 percent of the respondents support such an online laboratory.
