Thanks for your interest in the survey!
You must be 18 years or older to participate in this survey.
Data from this survey will be used for class projects and assignments for a course in research methods at Western Carolina University.
Some of the questions and measures in this survey are validated instruments, but some of have been developed by students who are new to research methods. So, some of the questions might not be perfect--please answer those the best you can. A few of the questions are a bit repetitive. Please accept our apologies, this is due to putting many students' research projects into a single survey.
Some of the questions are of a personal and sexual nature. All data are anonymous, and identifying information, such as your name, will not be collected nor stored with the data in any way. Feel free to skip any questions that make you uncomfortable. Students in my class will have access to this data for their exercises, but again, and like I said earlier, absolutely no identifying information is collected or stored with these data.
This should take about 10-15 minutes to complete.
Read the response options carefully, because they change from page to page.
Thank you for participating! The students in this class and I appreciate it.
If you are accessing this study via the Western Carolina University SONA system, you should automatically receive credit once you've finished the study. If you do not, email me asap and I'll look into it.
