Participants were 345 undergraduate students enrolled in psychology
courses at a major public university in the Midwestern
United States. The total sample size was reached by planning to collect
data for this study across two full semesters at the university
(Spring 2013 and Fall 2013). The majority of participants were female
(n = 217). The largest ethnic group was European American
(n=113), followed by Other (n=87), Asian American (n=82), Latino/
a (n = 43), African American (n = 29), and Native American
(n = 2). Participants were permitted to enter more than one ethnic
category. Mean age in the sample was 19.42 (SD = 1.42). All participants
surveyed were included in analyses except in specific cases
where they had missing data.
