I am writing to invite you to participate in a research study about computer interfaces,

this study is to understand better how people make judgments of others and decisions in
security scenarios.
It is anticipated that your participation in this study will require about 20-35 minutes of your
time to answer questions and then read and answer questions about brief scenarios.
Anonymity-Will you remain anonymous?
The survey is completely anonymous and no responses will be linked back to you.
