Compliance with ethical standards

: The Ethical Committee of the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg approved of the study protocol on January 18, 2018 (2017–138). All survey participants received a cover letter explaining their full rights. Due to protection of personal data, the requirement for written consent was waved and no signature was obtained. The letter stated the right to withdraw from the survey at any time and explained about protection of personal data. It also included a statement that a withdrawal from the survey would not cause any personal or professional disadvantages. Blank lines were added in case students wished to state a reason for non-participation. We also encouraged students to take the questionnaire home to read it carefully and fill it in without anyone else present. We asked the students to return the questionnaires to specially secured boxes throughout campus.
