Briefing information
Hi,
YOU MUST BE 18 YEAR OR OVER TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR PARTICIPATION. PLEASE COMPLETE THIS SURVEY WHEN YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN, WITH APPROXIMATELY
15 MINUTES OF UNINTERRUPTED TIME. THE ONLINE SURVEY WILL CLOSE ON
20th DECEMBER 2013
(UCLAN students only – 4 SONA points)
This research involves an assessment of how people feel about themselves, and their body, as a function of their ethnicity, age, gender, current body mass index, whether you have diabetes, and your sexuality.
If you agree to take part in my study, you will be asked to complete questionnaires relating to:
• Demographic & personal information (e.g. ethnicity, age, height, weight gender, medical status, and sexual orientation)
• Body perceptions (BDDQ; MDDI)
It should only take you about around 40 minutes to complete the questionnaire.
The questionnaire booklet is anonymous so do not sign your name. From the moment you complete the questionnaire pack you give your consent to use your answers for the purposes of the research. You have the right to withdraw from the study up until the point when you click SUBMIT. After that, withdrawal is impossible, as the questionnaires are anonymous. The individual data will not be traceable to any participant. Data will be analysed and may be used for journal publications and presentations; the results (data from all participants combined) will therefore be seen by relevant people (e.g. my Supervisor, Journal Editor, etc...).
Thank you for your time,
Researcher: Vanessa Haydock, University of Central Lancashire, email vhaydock@uclan.ac.uk.
Supervisor: Dr. N. Caswell, C.Psychol. FHEA, HPC. ncaswell1@uclan.ac.uk
