Ongoing Studies

Lend ten minutes to research in progress.

The studies below open for participation soon. Each is anonymous, takes roughly 8–12 minutes, and is reviewed under university research protocols. Responses go directly into peer-reviewed academic work — and findings are later published openly on the white papers page, so you can see what your ten minutes produced.

Golf, water, and what players feel they own
