Invitation to participate in a study on climate change communication

Dear students,

on behalf of my colleague Tilman Brück at HU Berlin, I would like to invite you to participate in a new online survey aimed at assessing how people think about climate change.

 

Study overview

In the survey, you will answer questions about climate change through an online questionnaire, ideally on your computer. Additionally, there will be a few general sociodemographic questions. Completing the survey takes about 20 minutes. However, there is no time limit. Please take as much time as you need to answer thoughtfully.

 The study has received ethical approval from the Thaer-institute of Humboldt University of Berlin. Data collection and processing are in line with the requirements of GDPR. Therefore,  your responses will remain anonymous.

 

Participation details

 This study is conducted as part of a research project of the Zero Hunger Lab at Humboldt- University of Berlin and at IGZ in collaboration with the Technical University of Berlin. Participation is entirely voluntary, but greatly appreciated.

 If you would like to participate, please follow one of these links:

●       English version: https://nimble.li/wdbrqaxm

●       German version: https://nimble.li/wdj32le9

 Your involvement will help the research team gain valuable insights into climate change behaviours.

 

Thank you in advance for participating in the survey.

Best wishes,
Prof. Dr. Michael Grimm
