1/4

Participant Information Sheet

Project Title: Students attitudes towards male and female domestic abuse

Background of the study

This study requires volunteers to sign up and participant in the study on their own accord. It is entirely a

voluntary study and any Psychology Undergraduate Student from Cardiff Metropolitan University is welcome

to take part.

This study aims to look at the attitudes of students towards domestic abuse and to determine whether there

are any gender effects between opinions.

All participants will be rewarded with course credits as a thank you for participating in the study and to show

appreciation for taking time to complete the questionnaire.

What will happen?

Once you have signed up to the study, you will receive an email with an attachment. This attachment will

contain an information sheet, which needs to be read thoroughly and carefully and the questionnaire will

then follow. The questionnaire will take no longer than 20 minutes to complete.

Can I withdraw from the study?

As the questionnaire is based on domestic abuse, it is understandable that this can be a sensitive subject and

therefore if any participants feel uncomfortable at any time, they can withdraw from the study at any time.

Confidentiality

All information you provide will be kept anonymous and will not be used for any other purposes other than

this study. The information you provide will be used by myself and my supervisor only and will be kept in a

secure file. Once the study has been completed, all information and documents will be destroyed. At no

point in the study will you be asked your name. However, you will be asked your gender and student number

in order to identify your questionnaire if withdrawal from the study is required. Once you have completed

the study and e-mailed it back to myself, you will then receive your course credits.
