My name is Laura Ramsey, and I am a graduate student in psychology at the University of Michigan. I am contacting you because I am conducting a study on personality traits in relation to certain professional fields. I am looking for professional scientists (e.g., faculty members and/or researchers in your department) and undergraduate science majors to participate in a brief, online survey which should take under 10 minutes to complete. Responses to the survey are anonymous, and the University of Michigan Institutional Review Board determined this survey to be exempt from regulation because it poses no risks to participants. In appreciation of participants’ time, each person who takes the survey can enter into a drawing where every 1 out of 25 will win a $25 gift certificate to amazon.com.
Participants just need to follow this link to participate: https://lessons.ummu.umich.edu/2k/traits_study/welcome . If you could possibly forward this survey to the faculty and students in your department, then that would be an enormous help. Please feel free to email me (lrramsey @ umich.edu) if you have any questions or comments. Thank you so much for your time and effort; I earnestly appreciate it.
Sincerely,
Laura Ramsey
