Experienced some discrimination
Though a few surveys presented will allow for a participant’s eligibility, many surveys exclude a participant immediately after entering information about one’s mature age, even when employed full time with unique business experiences.
Response from Emporia ResearchSep 2, 2026
Thanks for sharing this feedback, Joan. We want to clarify that the screening questions and eligibility criteria for each study are set by our research clients, and they often have very specific requirements that we don’t have full visibility into. We know it can be frustrating to be screened out from certain studies, especially when you have relevant professional experience, and we’ll continue encouraging our clients to make the screening process as fair and transparent as possible.
