Impact of Personality Traits on Television Viewing Habits
Welcome to "Impact of Personality Traits on Television Viewing Habits," a web-based experiment that examines how personality traits impact an individual's television viewing habits. Before taking part in this study, please read the consent form below and click on the "I Agree" button at the bottom of the page if you understand the statements and freely consent to participate in the study.
Consent Form
This study involves a web-based experiment designed to view how personality traits impact an individual's television viewing habits. The study is being conducted by Mary Kaar of the University of Texas at Dallas, and it has been approved by the University of Texas at Dallas Institutional Review Board. No deception is involved, and the study involves no more than minimal risk to participants (i.e., the level of risk encountered in daily life).
Participation in the study typically takes 30 - 45 minutes and is strictly anonymous. Participants begin by answering demographic information, followed by a personality questionnaire, and end with a television viewing habits survey.
All responses are treated as confidential, and in no case will responses from individual participants be identified. Rather, all data will be pooled and published in aggregate form only. Participants should be aware; however, that the experiment is not being run from a "secure" https server of the kind typically used to handle credit card transactions, so there is a small possibility that responses could be viewed by unauthorized third parties (e.g., computer hackers).
Many individuals find participation in this study enjoyable, and no adverse reactions have been reported thus far.
Participation is voluntary, refusal to take part in the study involves no penalty or loss of benefits to which participants are otherwise entitled, and participants may withdraw from the study at any time without penalty or loss of benefits to which they are otherwise entitled.
If participants have further questions about this study, they may contact the principal investigator, Mary Kaar, at (703) 980-3967; Participants who want more information about their rights as a participant or who want to report a research related injury may contact The University of Texas at Dallas Institutional Review Board at (972) 883-4579.
If you are 18 years of age or older, understand the statement above, and freely consent to participate in the study, click on the "I Agree" button to begin the experiment. |

Personality Trait Questions:
Describe yourself as you generally are now, not as you wish to be in the future.

So that you can describe yourself in an honest manner, your responses will be kept in absolute confidence.
