You are invited to participate in this study of relationships between twins and their twin's children. This three-part study takes about 15-20 minutes to complete.
Your participation is strictly voluntary. All information collected is anonymous and confidential. Although an initial computer identifier code is collected when responses are entered, this information is subsequently stripped from all data analyses and erased. No identifying information about your individual answers will be divulged. All research records will be kept confidential to the extent provided by law.
Your decision concerning whether or not to participate will not affect your future relations with California State University, or your relations with your current educational institution or place of business in any way. If you decide to participate, you are free to discontinue participation at any time. By completing this questionnaire, you have provided your consent to participate.
The survey has been tested utilizing Safari, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. Please use either browser to complete the study, or make sure that your alternate is able to process CGI (common gateway interface) scripts.
A summary of results (based on group data only) will eventually be placed at this website.
