Welcome to our study on politeness!
Thank you for taking the time to fill out our questionnaire. We are going to ask you a few questions about your attitudes towards politeness and directness regarding requests in six short scenarios. The survey will take approximately 20 minutes. If you want to pause the survey and continue it at a later time, please use the corresponding butten at the top right. You will be asked a few personal questions as well, but all responses will be kept confidential. Please fill out the survey fully, and feel free to express your honest thoughts, as we are interested in a diverse range of perspectives. This study is part of “The Art of Requesting” research project. For further questions, please don't hesitate to contact us at
