Chatbots and Neurodiversity

Welcome to the study “Chatbots and Neurodiversity”!

Thank you for your interest in this study. The study is part of a cooperation between the Department of General Psychology: Cognition at the University of Duisburg-Essen and the Department of Psychology at London South Bank University.

Participation requirements & Compensation

Participants must be at least 18 years old and speak German or English. Unfortunately, no compensation can be paid. The survey should not be completed on a mobile phone but on a laptop or tablet. 

Background and aims of the study

This study aims to investigate the influence of neurodiversity and executive functions on the acceptance of chatbots.

Procedure of the study

The following study takes place online and lasts approximately 20 minutes.

At the beginning, you will answer a few questions about yourself and play a card game with patterns and a number game. This is followed by two questionnaires before you are introduced to a chatbot. You will interact with it before finally answering a few more questionnaires. There are different answer formats when answering the various questionnaires. You will be informed before each new group of questions as to how you should answer.

If you have any further questions, please contact Eva Gößwein (eva.goesswein@uni-due.de).

Voluntariness and anonymity

Participation in the study is voluntary. You can end your participation in this study at any time and without giving reasons, without incurring any disadvantages. The data and personal information collected as part of this study and described above will be treated confidentially. Furthermore, the results of the study will be published in anonymized form, i.e. without your data being personally identifiable. Your data is therefore directly anonymized, which is why subsequent deletion of the data is not possible.


The legal basis for the processing of your personal data in studies is your voluntary explicit consent in accordance with the DS-GVO (Art. 6 (1) (a)).

Data protection & retention period for the anonymized data

The collection of your personal data described above is completely anonymized. The anonymization takes place immediately, assignment and tracing are not possible retrospectively. The data will be used in anonymized form and exclusively for scientific purposes. They can be made available to other scientists in anonymized form and will be kept for at least 10 years after the data evaluation or at least 10 years after the publication of a publication on this study.
The data is stored anonymously so that no conclusions can be drawn about your person.

Survey data policy

Notes on data processing 

In accordance with Art. 13 of the General Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO), we inform you about the processing of your personal data (Art. 4 (1) DSGVO).  

Legal basis 

The legal basis for the processing of your personal data is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1a) DSGVO. Your participation is voluntary. We treat all collected data strictly confidentially and in accordance with the legal data protection regulations. 

Type of storage 

All information you provide in the course of this survey will be stored pseudonymously (Art. 4 para. 5 DSGVO), i.e. by means of an individual pseudonym (code) for you in paper form and/or electronically. This pseudonym usually consists of numbers and letters and represents an individual identification. The pseudonym makes it possible to correlate your data from different experiments, questionnaires and studies without the need for a direct personal reference (e.g. by means of your full name). The pseudonym also serves to ensure that the data collected in the study cannot be clearly assigned to your person without the addition of further information. Your personal data used to contact you (e.g. your e-mail address for making appointments) as well as the consent form you have completed will be kept or stored separately from the study data.  

Legal notice

You have the right to obtain information about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data.You also have the right to request the subsequent correction, deletion, revocation or restriction of the processing of this data (Art. 15-18 DSGVO).To exercise these rights, please use the contact option provided above.With regard to all other data collected in the study, the rights can only be exercised if you provide us with your individual code (pseudonym). As soon as the data collected in the study is only available in anonymized form (i.e., the code has been deleted as an assignment function), subsequent information, deletion, correction, revocation and restriction of the processing of this data is no longer possible. 

Criteria for the storage period 

Data collected in the context of the study will be stored as long as they are relevant for the ongoing research (Art.13 para. 2a & Art.15 para.1d DSGVO).As a rule, all data collected in the course of scientific studies are stored for ten years after completion of the respective project - in accordance with the "Guidelines for Safeguarding Good Scientific Practice" of the German Research Foundation DFG (https://www.dfg.de/foerderung/grundlagen_rahmenbedingungen/gwp/index.html).Please note that deletion of data that have already been reported in scientific publications or uploaded to scientific databases cannot be carried out subsequently, as the anonymization that has taken place means that it is no longer possible to assign the data to specific individuals. 

Responsibility 

The responsible party within the meaning of the GDPR is the Chair of General Psychology: Cognition (Prof. Dr. Matthias Brand) at the University of Duisburg-Essen with the above contact details. 

The data protection officer of the University of Duisburg-Essen is Dr. Kai-Uwe Loser (kai-uwe.loser@uni-due.de).Further information on data protection at the University of Duisburg-Essen can be found at www.uni-due.de/verwaltung/datenschutz.Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with any supervisory authority, for example, the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of North Rhine-Westphalia (www.ldi.nrw.de) (Art.13 para. 2d & Art. 77 DSGVO).
