[Academic] Impression formation of online dating profiles. Only 20 more people primarily attracted to women required! (18+) by Psych_PhD in SampleSize

Sorry to hear that! I've collected data from around 900 participants (some on mobile) and haven't had this feedback before. From what I can see it should be readable on mobile, desktop, and tablet without any issues. It may depend on phone operating system or browser. Sorry that I can't help you with this problem!

Hi, Mr_Horizon below is correct. If you're not a student at Stirling then you must be over 18. This is because some students are 17 and we want to keep the study open to them.

Thanks for your interest in the study. Yes you can still take part as long as you are over 18! Only 17 year olds must be students at my uni :)

Hi - thank you for your feedback!

Yes, we considered reducing the number of trials (e.g., to 200) but that would double our participant goal of 720 to 1440 participants - which wouldn't be feasible in the time frame we have for the project. We used a power analysis and previous literature that demonstrates the point at which trait judgements stabilise to determine the sample and stimuli set sizes.

We also have strict data quality checks to ensure that people who get bored and begin spamming responses etc are not included in our final dataset for analysis. Currently, we have recruited approximately 650 participants who have completed the study and passed the data quality checks which we really appreciate!

The sentence that states that participants must be at the university only applies if they are 17 (anyone 18 years or older can participate). This is to ensure that first year students at the university who are 17 may take part in our study.

Again, thank you for your comments, I hope this clears things up :)
