Personality Traits and Behavior Survey

·         You are being asked to participate in a research study whose purpose is to better understand the relationship between specific behaviors and personality characteristics. This survey includes various personality tests including several questions about your thoughts, feelings and behaviors. We will also ask you for some basic demographic information. You will not be asked to disclose any identifying information (e.g., name, location, etc) and your answers will remain completely anonymous.

·         The research procedures involve filling out an online survey at a location that is most convenient to you. The survey should take approximately 45 minutes or less to complete.

·         Participation in this study is voluntary. There is no cost to you for participating. You may refuse to participate or discontinue your involvement at any time without penalty.

·         The only foreseeable discomforts associated with the study are the invasion of your privacy and possible emotional “upset" or "awareness” as a result of filling out questionnaires. Upon completion of this study, you will be eligible to enter the $100 raffle. Instructions for entering the raffle will be provided at the end of the survey. This study may help researchers better understand the relationship between personality traits and behaviors in order to develop better treatments for people with certain psychological problems.
