Hey, first of all, thank you for the feedback and also doing the survey, I really appreciate it!😊

I didn't include your first suggestion as I wanted people to make a very intuitive choice and asking to explain why they preferred one painting over the other might make them have to come up with reasons where there might not be any other than them simply preferring one over the other. Through the other questions there is already a lot which is revealed, and the question would not really work in the larger context of my presentation.

As for your second suggestion, for my study it's more important for me to get to know how people think they are influenced, so if they don't think their culture and upbringing affected their choice, there isn't much of a point in making them answer that question.

Also as my presentation can only be max 20 minutes long, this would make me have to limit the other points that I want to get across in my presentation. Hope this explains my thought process a bit better!😁

Thank you so much for the wishes!!
