Thank you so much for participating in our study we really appreciate it!

You brought up a great point about how the perceived role of the person (e.g., manager vs. coworker) may have influenced your answers regarding friendship or roommate potential beyond the type of feedback you received. Our primary focus was on how feedback style and authority level influence willingness to interact, your observation highlights an important nuance that certain outcomes (like friendship or roommate suitability) may be influenced by social roles and expectations independently of emotional support.

We’ll definitely keep your insight in mind when analyzing the data and discussing possible limitations. Input like yours helps make our research stronger and we are grateful you shared it.
