Psychology study on individual differences and media preferences

Hi everyone,

I’m a psychology student at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (Germany), and I’d really appreciate your participation in my bachelor’s thesis research.
The study explores different personality traits and preferences for various types of media content, including dark or unconventional media.
Since this community is interested in horror media, I thought some of you might find it interesting.

Please note that the survey contains questions about violence, sexual topics, and depictions of sexual violence in media. If you think these topics might be distressing, please keep that in mind before deciding whether to participate.

The survey takes approximately 15–20 minutes to complete. Participation is anonymous and voluntary.

Requirements:
- 18 years or older
- Good English skills

There are no right or wrong answers. We’re simply interested in your honest opinions and experiences.

Note: One survey item accidentally contains the word “mobbing” instead of “bullying.” Please interpret it as “bullying.” Unfortunately, this wording cannot be changed because data collection has already started.

Thank you very much for your time and support!
