: During this study, all methods were carried out in accordance with relevant guidelines and regulations. Based on the official statement of the Regional Research Ethics Committee of the University of Pécs (9861 – PTE 2024) an Ethical Approval was not necessary for this study. Using this questionnaire was considered safe, as all data were collected anonymously. With completing the online questionnaire, applicants voluntarily took part in this study, and an informed consent was obtained from all participants. Regarding Study II, data was collected from publicly available online platforms. For the protection of user privacy, our results did not contain any identifiable information about the users, and we have complied with the relevant terms and conditions of these platforms. Due to the use of anonymized, publicly available data, and the position of Reddit, that collection of data is not prohibited for academic purposes only (i.e. non-commercial), an ethical approval was not necessary, supported by the statement of the Regional Research Ethics Committee of the University of Pécs (9861 – PTE 2024). Previous studies analyzing online data have followed a similar approach.
