**5.1 Participants**

A convenience sample was used for this study. Participants were recruited using a snowballing technique on social media. The researchers shared a link to the SurveyMonkey survey on their social media and encouraged their friends to share it as well. The link to the survey was also shared via email at the researchers' home institution.

Using this technique, a total of 134 participants consented to participate in the study; however, 35 of these participants did not answer any of the survey questions, and therefore, they were excluded from the sample. This left a final sample size of 99 participants. This sample consisted of 61 females, 37 males and 1 who preferred not to answer. The average age of this sample was 46.78 years (SD = 11.21 years). Additionally, the sample was 91% Caucasian. The majority of the sample had a master's degree or higher with 22% having a master's degree and 68% of the sample having a doctoral or professional degree. The sample was also asked their role at the university and 68% of the sample was faculty with 23.5% serving as staff and another 8% who served as both faculty and staff. Finally, 78% of the sample worked for a private four-year college or university.
