The Effect of Birth Order on Personality and Interpersonal Relationships

Welcome to "The Effect of Birth Order on Personality and Interpersonal Relationships,” a web-based experiment that examines how one’s birth order affects one’s personality. Before taking part in this study, please read the consent form below and only continue if you understand the statements and freely consent to participate in the study.
Consent Form

This study involves a web-based experiment designed to understand the effect of birth order on one’s personality and interpersonal relationship style. 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). In this study you will complete a questionnaire concerning the strategies you use for studying for an exam in a science course. There are 25 questions, and we estimate it will take about fifteen to twenty minutes to complete. Some demographic information is collected as well. You are free to not answer any question, to stop participating at any time without penalty, and to not have this survey be part of the data set. All questionnaires are anonymous, and the forms will be kept confidential by the researcher.

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. We have no way of knowing who replied with what answers, so please answer as truthfully as possible. 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 or their rights, or if they wish to lodge a complaint or concern, they may contact the principal investigator, at psychexperimentor@gmail.com
