Measuring gender differences in politics

The following survey is going to be used in a study completed by Maisan Webb at the University of Essex. The purpose of this survey is to determine to what extent men and women in the UK (between the ages of 20-25) are interested in and engage with politics, and whether or not gender is a determining factor of this.

This survey will consist of 9 questions, some being multiple choice and some being open-ended. This survey will take around 5 minutes to complete. Please do not leave any sections blank, if a question is not applicable to you, please state as such.

All participants will be kept anonymous; however the collected results will be used in a dissertation which may be published. During the process of said study, only the researcher will have access to the results, which will otherwise be stored on secure, password-protected cloud storage.

As my study will take place online in the form of a questionnaire, informed consent will be given by completing and submitting the questions.

By completing and submitting this survey you agree to the following:

1)       I willingly agree to participate in this study.

2)       This agreement has been given voluntarily, and without any form of coercion.

3)       I understand I can withdraw from the study at any point, up until the submission of the survey.

4)       I understand who to contact if I have any queries or complaints.

5)       I understand that once I have completed and submitted this survey, this cannot be undone, and results will be used.

6)       I understand that the answers I give will be analysed and used in a study others will have access to.

7)       I understand that my anonymised data will be used for a dissertation project.

8)       I have read and understood the participant information sheet, given prior to this survey.

9)       I understand that by submitting the survey, I am consenting to participate.
