The pilot test focused on the questionnaire’s psycho- metric properties. In order to check the validity of the obtained scores, the questionnaire was given to a group of ten researchers in different areas. After being in- formed of the objectives and variables definition, they were asked to respond it. Based on their answers, the following aspects were addressed: (1) were the questions clear enough? (2) is there any ambiguity in the ques- tions? (3) is there any important issue missing? (4) do questions correspond to the objectives of each variable? (5) are there additional questions to improve the survey and/or its results?
