Ready or Not: How does the study address potential ethical concerns?

This study has been reviewed by the University of Cambridge Psychology Ethics Committee. All children will be told that it is their choice to take part and that they can return to their class whenever they wish. We do not anticipate any distress, but children who appear tired will be offered short breaks.

In accordance with General Data Protection Regulation guidelines and the Data Protection act, all survey and task data will be kept fully anonymous. Zoom is GDPR compliant (click here) and the recordings have end-to-end encryption options (click here). The video-footage will be stored securely using the University Secure System, and only the University System Administrator and the research team will have access to the data.
