Declarations

:

: The authors declare no conflict of interest.

: Since no deception was used, data were collected anonymously and no psychological or physical risk was involved, the study did not require approval according to the statute of the IRB in Mannheim. Participation was voluntary, and participants were free to end the study any time at no disadvantage except loss of monetary compensation.

: After reading the instructions, participants were to state that they are at least 18 years old and that they have understood the study information and the data handling. They could either consent or refuse to participate and were told they can withdraw their consent at any time without negative consequences.

: There was no separate consent for publication, but in the data-handling section of the general informed consent, publication of the data in an anonymous form was mentioned as a consequence of agreeing to participate.
