My attitudes, my beliefs, my self

This study aims to understand how people's attitudes and beliefs relate to their present understanding of themselves. If you participate in this study, you will be asked to describe yourself with respect to your qualities and activities. Additionally, participants will respond to a number of questions about themselves, with none of these questions touching upon particularly sensitive issues.

The survey is completed anonymously and takes around 20 minutes to complete.

If you complete the survey, you can be entered into a prize draw for Amazon.co.uk* vouchers. The winner of the first draw will receive £100 worth of vouchers, the winner of the second draw will receive £75 in vouchers and the winner of the third draw will receive £25 in vouchers. If you would like to participate in the prize draw, you must provide your e-mail address at the end of the survey. Email addresses will only be used for the purpose of contacting winners and all email addresses will be expunged/deleted after the draw has been completed. *Note: if you win, you can choose vouchers from Amazon.com instead (in the equivalent $ amount --rounded down to the nearest $5 -- per http://www.xe.com/ucc/ on the day of the draw).
