It is important that you read the following information carefully; it outlines what you will be asked to do in the experiment and why the experiment is being conducted. If you have any questions or feel that any of the information is unclear, just ask.

If you would like to take part, you will be asked to sign a consent form. However, you may still withdraw at any time during the experiment for any reason and without explanation.

Study Details

This research study is a reading and writing task. You will be presented with a questionnaire to complete; it will contain all of the instructions for the experiment.

The total length of the study is entirely up to you, there are no time pressures, but it is estimated that it will take between 5-10 minutes to complete. The data collected during this experiment is anonymous, no one will have access to the data apart from the researchers and there are no personal identifiers to link you to this research. The only personal information that we will collect is age, gender and email address. Anonymous, combined data (e.g. group averages) may be printed as part of an article in a scientific journal, but you will never be personally detectable.

When you have finished you will be given a debriefing sheet which explains the exact purpose of the study and contains contact information for any follow-up questions you may have.

It is now up to you to decide whether or not you would like to take part. If you would like to take part then please proceed to the consent form.
