This study was approved (ER/JLT26/7) by the Sciences & Technology Cross-Schools Research Ethics Committee (C-REC) at the University of Sussex in adherence to the British Psychological Society’s Code of Human Research Ethics (2018).
Collaborating universities were covered by the overarching University of Sussex ethics approval, but were asked to check with their own ethics boards whether further approval was required at the local level and, if necessary, to obtain it before beginning data collection.
The Sussex ethics certification and any other ethics documentation (where required) from collaborating universities is presented here. In some cases, this is just confirmation that additional local ethics approval was not required.
