1st Draft Survey Questionnaire Part 1: Acceptance of Modern Myths about Sexual Aggression

Dear Participant, First of all thank you for your willingness to participate in our study. We assure you that all information will be held strictly confidential and anonymous. Please answer all questions honestly and carefully, as this is of great importance for the success of our study. You will be presented with a set of statements and asked to indicate the extent to which you agree or disagree with each. There are no right or wrong answers we are only interested in your personal opinion. Please read each statement carefully and then circle that number from 1 to 7 that you feel best represents your opinion. The points on the scale have the following meaning:

1 = completely disagree 2 = disagree 3 = disagree somewhat 4 = neutral 5 = agree somewhat 6 = agree 7= completely agree

For example: It snows in winter. completely disagree 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 completely agree

In this example the answer of 5 would indicate that you agree somewhat with the statement but not entirely (for example, because it does not snow everywhere and all the time in winter). Please use the complete range of the scale to express your exact opinion.
