Here is a sample of a survey exit page. You should cover the same main items.
In this study you were asked to evaluate colors for aesthetic value and readability. We are trying to find out if gender stereotypes about color preferences really have any basis in fact. We asked about readability because we wanted to see if this was a confounding factor–are hard-to-read combinations naturally rated as less pleasing, or are these independent of one another? This study was inspired by the work at http://hubel.sfasu.edu/research/AHNCUR.html.
Thank you for your participation! If you would like to see the result of this survey, please email david.eisenberg@evc.edu after 1 January 2008
