You will complete a number of simple tasks, together with other people,
with whom you will be connected via the internet.
First, all participants in the study will select personal "avatars" and
write short texts to introduce themselves.
Before beginning the tasks, you will spend 3 minutes with the other
people. During this time, you will be able to read and react to
each-other's brief introductions.
Specific instructions will follow.
Thank you!
Please enter your name
Could be your first name, nickname, or initials
Please select an avatar
This avatar will represent you during the group task, but will not be linked to any of your responses. Your choice of avatar will not be recorded or analyzed.
Please introduce yourself
Please write a paragraph in which you introduce yourself to the rest of the group.
Write something you would like to share about yourself - schooling, pets, etc.
Write a minimum of 100 characters (around three sentences)
Characters left: 400
Group Introduction
Soon after connecting, you should be able to see the other people's descriptions.
You can read and react to the short introduction they wrote about themselves, by
clicking a "like" button, similar to the "like" button on Facebook ("favorite" on Twitter,
♥ in Tumblr and Instagram, etc.)
Even though your interaction is minimal, please try to read all profiles carefully.
The task will last 3 minutes and is very important to the study, so please be attentive,
without switching pages, or doing unrelated tasks. Questions about the other people might follow.
Like all profiles you would wish to be friends with based on their description. All other participants will be liking profiles by this same criteria.
If these instructions are clear, you can proceed to log in.
Establishing connection
Please wait while you are being connected to the other participants in your group.
All participants are now connected and you are ready to proceed.
ERROR
We have detected an issue with your connection that prevented your profile
from being shown to most other participants.
We apologize for the inconvenience. This will not impact your ability to
finish participating in this study and receive credit.
Please click the "continue" button to move on to the next portion of the study.
Specific instructions will follow.
Thank you!
Click "Like" if you would want to be friends with the other person based on their profile.
