Greetings!
You are invited to participate in an online study of email addresses.
The purpose of this study is to gain an understanding into how people
personalize their email addresses, manage multiple email
addresses/accounts, and experience anonymity when using these
addresses. We would like to invite all English-speaking email users age
18 and over worldwide to complete our survey, and we eventually hope to
have 400-500 respondents globally.
This survey is being conducted by researchers at the University of
Texas at Austin and has been approved by the Institutional Review Board
for the Protection of Human Subjects, Clarke A. Burnham, Ph.D., Chair.
Questions about this research may be directed to the chair at: The
University of Texas at Austin, Office of Research Sup****t & Compliance,
P.O. Box 7426, Austin, TX, 78713.
If you choose to participate it will take approximately 10 ? 30 minutes
to complete the survey depending on the number of email addresses you
have (up to 3). All of your answers will be kept confidential by the
researchers. The information we collect will be used for academic
research purposes only and will not be used by or sold to any
commercial entities.
To take the survey, please go to:
