Overview: We're inviting you to take part in a research study to help us better understand the relationship between personality traits and decision-making patterns in disaster management scenarios. You will first fill out a brief questionnaire and then play an economic game where you act as a community stakeholder responding to a sequence of disaster scenarios. The study should take approximately 25 minutes to complete.

Participation: Participation is completely voluntary, and you can withdraw from this study at any time by closing your internet browser window. However, if you withdraw from the study, you will not receive monetary compensation (details below).

Compensation: If you are an Amazon MTurk worker, you will be awarded $5 for successfully completing this study. If you are a student participating in this study as part of your class exercises, you will be awarded extra credit in class. To qualify as having completed this study, you need to finish both the questionnaire and the economic game. A pre-game tutorial will explain the exact conditions necessary to fulfill the latter requirement, but essentially you just need to make sure you enter your decisions in the game before the allotted time expires.

Confidentiality: Your responses and participation in this study are confidential. We do not ask you to provide any personally identifiable information.

NOTE TO MTURK WORKERS: please be aware that depending on your Amazon privacy settings, work you perform on MTurk can potentially be linked to your Amazon public profile via your MTurk Worker ID. We will not be attempting to view your Amazon public profile and will only use your MTurk Worker ID for distributing compensation. Additionally, records of your MTurk Worker ID are kept separate from your responses and deleted after this study ends.

Contact: If you have any questions or concerns about this study, please contact its Primary Investigator, Dr. Hiba Baroud (hiba.baroud@vanderbilt.edu). This study has been approved by Vanderbilt University’s Institutional Review Board.
