Compliance with ethical standards
: The split-100 rating experiment reported in this paper was completely anonymised. Participants signed standard consent forms and were given the option of asking questions about the nature of the experiment before and after they took part in it. They were granted the right to revoke their signed declaration of consent (through anonymised personal codes), which none of them did. Participants received no payment, but they were awarded credit in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a first-semester class in German linguistics at Freie Universität Berlin. The participants could specify their gender on a voluntary basis and they were given no pre-formulated options.
