DATA & FILE OVERVIEW
--------------------

This dataset contains:

[Thesis_Non_Prolific_Data_Cleaned_Exported_20250207.csv, Thesis_Prolific_Data_Cleaned_Exported_20250207.csv]

Sanitised questionnaire response data is contained in the two csv files, one from the Prolific participant platform (prolific.com) and one from direct / word-of-mouth recruitment. The questionnaire was the same for both.

METHODOLOGICAL INFORMATION
--------------------------

The questionnaire was hosted on Qualtrics (southampton.qualtrics.com). Recruitment was direct, word-of-mouth and through the Prolific recruitment platform (prolific.com).

This dataset contains the raw responses, but the format has been cleaned up (for example, reordered and headings made clearer).

Invalid responses have been removed (e.g. responses flagged as AI by/with Prolific).
