Family Support Study
Industrial/Organizational Program
Florida Institute of Technology

This study examines beliefs, attitudes and experiences concerning the way organizations, such as businesses, support their employees. We are specifically looking at support for families, such as maternal leave policies and allowances given for parents of young children to cope with childrearing demands. We need to obtain information from you and from your parents, and we must associate your data with theirs. It is a complicated study.

We would like you to provide contact information so we can reach your parents by email, then ask them to come to this web site to complete their part of the survey. The surveys are not very long.

In the next several screens, we will ask you for this contact information and administer the questionnaires that you will complete. In order to get credit for this experiment, you must complete the questionnaires and so must your parents. So your primary task will be to obtain your parents' participation...

This study is not anonymous...

Psychology experiments are normally conducted so as to maintain the anonymity of participants' responses. However, in this study we need to be able to place your responses and those of your parents into a single dataset. When your parents respond to the questionnaires, they will enter your name so that we can later match up all of the response.

...but your responses are fully confidential

However, your responses and those of your parents are fully confidential. Once we have matched up the data and reported your participation to your Introductory Psychology instructor, your names will be removed from the dataset.

Please enter your name, student number and the name of your Introductory Psychology instructor:

Your name: (First name, Last name)
