Consent for Survey Participation

You have been asked to participate in a research study conducted by Victoria (Vicky) Zeamer from Comparative Media Studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.). The purpose of the study is to understand the changing experiences and perceptions of different types of social media content. You should read the information below, and ask questions about anything you do not understand, before deciding whether or not to participate.



• This survey is voluntary. You have the right not to answer any question, and to stop the interview at any time or for any reason. I expect that the interview will take about 10 minutes.

• You will not be compensated for the interview.

• No identifying information about you, a survey participant, will be included in publications that may result from this research.



The data collection for this project will be completed by June 2018. All survey answers will be stored in a secure work space until 3 years after that date and/or completion of the written work.



***I understand the procedures described above. By proceeding with this interview, you agree that any questions you may have had have been answered to your satisfaction, and that you agree to participate in this study.***
