Compliance with ethical standards
:
: The authors declare that they have no conflict of interest.
: All procedures performed in studies involving human participants were in accordance with the ethical standards of the institutional and/or national research committee and with the 1964 Helsinki declaration and its later amendments or comparable ethical standards.
: Potential participants were informed about the study’s aims and assured that participation would be voluntary and anonymous. In order to protect participants’ anonymity, we refrained from obtaining informed consent in written form. As our research was based on anonymous questionnaires and as participating in our study did not cause harm or discomfort that went beyond everyday experiences, this procedure was in line with the guidelines of the national Society of Psychology and our university’s ethics committee.
