SECONDARY, RECRUITMENT
This study was approved by the University at Buffalo Institutional Review Board and was conducted online in November 2018. The study was a secondary analysis of data collected for a cross-sectional study of parents recruited from ResearchMatch.org, a crowdsourcing platform. The parent study was designed to study the relationship between stress and parenting. No publications were generated from the analysis of these relations. A recruitment message was sent to randomly selected individuals who met our study target (e.g., adults 18–55). E-mail addresses of those interested in participating were exported from ResearchMatch.org, and potential participants were sent an e-mail with the link to a Qualtrics questionnaire. An IRB-approved consent was presented to the participant upon opening the link, and consent was obtained by the participant indicating (e.g., clicking) “I agree to the terms described above.” 569 people consented and were eligible to participate (e.g., an adult 18–55 with at least one child between 2 and 15), and of those, 369 participants provided full, complete, and valid responses to all of the study questionnaires, including the DD task [
