10.5 Appendix 1: example structured consent page
Thank you for taking the time to consider helping in this research, which is being conducted by Student Name and Jon May from the University of Plymouth. Please read the below information before deciding whether or not to take part. Continue to the next page once you have read all of the information.
What is the study about?
Goal achievement is a big aspect of people’s lives, especially when involved in sports. It has been suggested that there are links between motivation and goal achievement in certain sports. This study aims to investigate these links, and whether or not it is linked with the personality trait Grit.
What will I have to do if I take part?
This survey consists of several pages which contains rating scales about your attitudes towards taking part in sport. Some of the questions are novel, but most are based on existing and tested questionnaires. You will be asked to report your age and sex so that we can ensure our sample is representative of the population. We have tested this survey and it should take you no longer than ten minutes to complete.
Will the information collected during the study be kept confidential?
The study will be conducted in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (2018) and the guidelines of the British Psychological Society. All information collected about you during the study will be anonymised. Your personal details will be stored securely at the University of Plymouth, accessible only by members of the study team. When this project is being written up, no identifying information will be used.
What are the benefits and risks of taking part in this study?
There are no direct benefits of taking part in this study. You will not receive any motivational training as part of this study, but the results may influence training that may be made available in the future. There should be no risks involved with taking part in this study.
What if I have more questions?
If you have any more questions or don’t quite understand something regarding this study then please email Student Name at student.name@students.plymouth.ac.uk. If they cannot answer your questions satisfactorily, then you can contact the Research Supervisor, Professor Jon May, at jon.may@plymouth.ac.uk, or the Faculty Ethical Committee directly at hhsethics@plymouth.ac.uk.
What happens now if you don’t want to take part?
Your participation is voluntary so you do not have to take part, nor do you have to give a reason why. If you don’t choose to take part this will not affect any further opportunities that may arise. Simply close this window. You can also stop at any point in this survey by closing the browser window.
