Participants in this study were online graduate male and female students at Southern New Hampshire University (N= 20; 10 women and 10 men) ranging in ages of 30 or younger.

For this reason, our participants will be young adults who are similar in age. These participants were recruited both in our Psychology class’ discussion section and outside of class by the experimenters.

The distribution of the participants by gender included 26 females and 6 males. The age of the participants ranged from 19 to 41 years old (M= 20.725, SD=5.15).
