THIS STUDY IS CLOSED!

Thank you for your interest in the work goals and work attitudes study. On this web page is an informed consent form that describes the purpose of the study and your participation. Once you click the "I Agree" box, you will be asked to log in. To log in, please type your last name (all in lower case) as your user name and the last 4 digits of your social security number as your password (this ensures that two people with the same last name are uniquely identified). You'll then find the survey, which takes 15-20 minutes to complete. Finally, there is a space to provide your home address where we can send a very brief survey for your significant other and a follow-up survey for yourself (and eventually, your check). Please rest assured that these surveys (for your significant other and the follow-up for yourself) are very brief (5 minutes or less) and should not be onerous to complete. (To preview these surveys please click on Significant Other Survey, or on Follow-up Survey.)

A critical point: All responses-yours and the others-are completely confidential. Please also rest assured that this is a secure server.

We very much appreciate your participation in this important study. Thanks so much. If you have any questions, please email us (tjudge@ufl.edu, amy-kristof-brown@uiowa.edu).

If you have technical questions about the surveys ("I can't log on…" "I can't submit my survey properly…" "Were my responses received…"), email Remus Ilies at admin@studies-online.org.
