Welcome to our study and thank you for your interest!

Before you start, we would like to briefly inform you about the purpose and procedure of this study.

Purpose:
The purpose of this study is to investigate how different personality types moderate the effects of different types of Autonomous Sensory Meridian Responses (ASMR). A short preliminary description of ASMR would be pleasurable tingling sensations in response to certain triggers.

Procedure:
On the following pages, you will be asked to watch a few short videos and answer questions on social demographics, personality characteristics, your ASMR experience, and mental health. The total duration of the study is estimated to be 30 minutes.

Due to the level of concentration required to answer the questions, possible fatigue can develop. However, please note that participation is voluntary and can be paused or permanently discontinued at any time without negative consequences.

[Please note: Sound is crucial for effective ASMR induction so headphones/earphones are required to take part]

All data gathered will be recorded and stored anonymously. Research results will not be traceable to you as an individual person.

After completing the questionnaire, you can take part in a lottery possibly winning one of five 10€ Vouchers.

In order to enter the lottery, you can enter your email address at the end of the questionnaire. Your email address will only be used for the lottery and deleted immediately after the winners are pulled.

Furthermore, please note that in order to participate a minimum age of 18 years is required!

If these premises apply to you, you’re welcome to press “Next”. The informed consent will follow on the next page.
