I am a psychology professor at Mount Allison University, and we are conducting a research study with my undergraduate students. We invite you to participate in our study, which aims to investigate the role of emotion regulation skills and individual characteristics on work-life conflict and the psychological well-being of employed university students. If you are at least 18 years old and a university/college student working full-time or part-time in Canada, we would like to ask for your volunteer participation in our study.
The purpose of our study is to better understand university students' experiences when they deal with different roles and their relationship with psychological well-being. To participate in this study, you will be asked to fill out an anonymous online questionnaire, which includes a demographic form and survey questions. Participation will take approximately 15-20 minutes.
The anonymous data will be collected using the platform Lime Survey. Your participation is completely voluntary, and you may withdraw from this study at any time. There are no known risks associated with participation. Participation is anonymous and all information we collect will be kept strictly confidential. The results of this study will be published in academic peer-reviewed journal articles, presented at academic conferences, and will be used for an undergraduate honours thesis and independent research project. When reporting the results of this study, we will not be identifying any individual by person, or by any other identifying information. The results of this study will be presented as a group and no individual participants’ data will be shared or identified.
Participating in this study will advance knowledge of individual and environmental factors related to work-life conflict students experience. The information gathered in this study can be used to make suggestions to educational institutions and organizations regarding effective policies to support working students.
As a thank you for your participation you can be entered into a draw to win 1 of 5 $20 Amazon gift cards.
Participation in this study is voluntary. You can stop the survey at any time, and you do not have to answer a question if you don’t want to. Participants can close the survey at any time if they wish to stop participating and they will be not entered into the gift card draw.
