Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
All participants will watch 2 short videos. The videos show actors playing a doctor, counselor, and patient, discussing psychology service options. Each video is about 1 minute and 30 seconds long and will discuss the same material, but the content of each video will be different. The order in which they are presented will be randomly assigned (as in the flip of a coin). You will have an equal chance of seeing either video first.
After you watch the second video, you will complete 3 questionnaires about whether you think 1 of the videos was better than the other, and about your attitude toward psychology services. These questionnaires should take about 4 minutes to complete.
Length of Study:
It should take about 16 minutes to watch both videos and to complete all questionnaires. Your participation on this study will be over after you have completed the last questionnaire.
Other Information:
We will ask your caregiver(s) to leave the room while the videos are played. In case they decide to stay, we will ask them to keep silent.
