Hello,
I'm running a study on the moral psychology of EAs. There is a $10 donation to AMF/MIRI/REG for each participant.
Our aim is to investigate supporters of aiding the needy via cost-effective giving. This study uses self-report questionnaires on moral dilemmas.
Your participation in this study is completely voluntary. Should you decide not to participate or should you change your mind mid-way through you are under no obligation to provide additional reasons for your decision. You may withdraw at any time.
No personal identifiers aside from minimal demographic information will be held or revealed alongside your answers at any stage of the study. Your responses will be used for a post-graduate thesis.
We're also looking for non-EAs, so please spread outwith the group too.
Thanks!
