What can I expect if I take part in this research?

This study has two parts and will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. For completing this survey, you will enter a lottery which you can win one out of three €25 Amazon Vochers. The lottery will be drawn at the end of the study.
To our knowledge, there are no risks associated with this research study. To the best of our ability, your answers in this study will remain confidential. The records of your responses will be coded in a completely anonymous way. Should you want to partitcipate in the lottery, you will be asked to provide your email address. This information will be stored separately from your survey responses and will not be linked to your answers. No names or sensitive biographic information will be asked of you. Your records will be arbitrarily assigned a subject code number by the system. To secure the transparency of scientific findings, the completely anonymized data set will be published and made available to other researchers. The potential purposes of future analyses of the data cannot be determined.
