If you need to locate a stud in a stick-framed wall, remember that most electricians are right-handed. Find an outlet, and tap the wall directly to its left. The odds are in your favor that the stud will be there, and you can measure away from it in 16-in. increments to find other studs.

A magnet works pretty good in a pinch too.
