Information Sheet for Participation in Research Study
We are asking you to be in a research study because we are trying to learn more about feelings and behaviors which may arise once a best/close friend enters into a new dating relationship with someone else. This study will take less than 1 hour of your time. If you agree to be in this study, you will be asked to read a scenario describing a situation involving you and your best/close friend and will be asked to imagine that you are experiencing it. Upon completion of the experiment, you will be asked to answer questions about your perception and emotions of the described situation/scenario. You can choose not to participate. There will be no negative consequences if you decide not to participate or change your mind later.
If you have questions about this study, please contact NgocAnna P. Huynh - Woodford at nhuynh@depaul.edu. If you have questions about your rights as a research subject, you may contact Shay-Ann Heiser Singh, Coordinator of the DePaul University's Institutional Review Board at 312-362-7593 or by email at sheiser@depaul.edu.
