This consent page was made for use at Bates College. This study investigates quantitative skills and decision-making in college students. You must be enrolled in an undergraduate institution in order to participate and may only complete the survey once. You will be asked to complete three different questionnaires, including questions about quantitative literacy and decision making. Sometimes when individuals complete quantitative assessments or other measures of numeracy, they may feel mild discomfort. Take your time with each section and do not use any outside materials to answer them. The survey should only take about fifteen minutes. You are welcome to discontinue the study at any time and refuse to answer questions without being penalized. All of the data collected from your participation will not be stored with your name or associated with you in any way. The data will only be available to the principal investigator and her advisor. All of the data will be stored online, and while most individuals will not be able to access it, some very tech savy people may be able to. Finaly, you must have javascript and cookies enabled in order to complete the survey.
