: The study was conducted in accordance with the ethical standards described by the Medical Research Involving Human Subjects Act (WMO). [CitationRef removed] This Act exempts research on healthy human adults from review for as long as it does not involve any invasion of participants’ integrity. To determine whether our study fell within the remit of the Act, the study procedure was assessed by the Ethical Review Board of the Faculty of Social and Behavioral Sciences of Utrecht University, consistent with the Faculty protocol. The Board rated the study as not being invasive of the participants’ integrity, and hence not subject to WMO. Online consent was required from each participant prior to participation. To be precise, the consent form was presented in the online tool and participants had to indicate by clicking an ‘I agree’ check box that they had carefully studied the consent form and freely consented and voluntarily agreed to participate in the study. Only after consenting, participants could continue to the questions.
