Can I spread the word to members of my team and other potential participants? -Absolutely! PLEASE DO!!! And Thanks.
How many times do I do a questionnaire? Is there ongoing commitment? -You do what is essentially the same questionnaire only 2 times: before and after watching and/or listening to material via the internet. Total time commitment is one 40-50 minute sitting. Is there a maximum number of participants? -No. More is better. Is there monetary compensation? -No, sorry. I did college sailing many years ago. Can I participate? -No, sorry. But, after I run the study, I’ll make the materials available for people to check out. Can high school sailors participate? -No, we’re keeping the parameters tight to keep the design more simple. Perhaps we could do another study later. Will results be posted after the study is complete? -Individual responses will be kept confidential. If there is a lot of interest, I can post general findings on the ICSA list serv.
