3.2 Participant Sample

Participants were recruited through an online survey audience portal from a population of working professionals across the U.S. Age and gender were balanced to increase generalizability. A series of quality control questions were included in the survey to ensure that active, engaged participant data was analyzed. For example, the first question instructed “There is a code above your video. Please carefully select that code from the list below.” Survey responses that included an incorrect response were discarded.
The sample totaled 561 participants, once entries that failed quality control were eliminated.
