Your friends

In this part of the study, we will be using a list that gives a number to each of your participating classmates. This will be displayed at the front of the class.

We will ask you some questions about your classmates. We would like you to write down the numbers of whoever the question refers in the empty boxes. If the question refers to no-one on the list, then tick the box that says “no-one”.

Please read the examples on this page before you start with this section. You do not have to answer these examples. The questions for you to answer are on the next page.

Example class list
