Question

Describe the number and demographics of participants; who participated in the research described in the article? (The answer to this question can be found by reading the Method section of the article, especially the “Participants” subsection).?

and this is the method:

Participants and Procedures Study participants were students enrolled at a mid-sized public university in the northeast US. After approval was obtained from the Institutional Review Board, surveys were administered by research assistants in high traffic, high volume areas of the campus, including dining halls, cafeterias and coffee shops, computer labs, building lobbies, the library, the fitness center, and the campus center. Participants were approached by the assistants, and asked if they would be willing to complete a survey. They were informed of the purpose of the study and were told that the study was anonymous and that there would be no way to identify study participants; they were also assured that participation was totally voluntary. Those students who agreed to participate were given letters of informed consent and surveys. After completing the surveys, the students placed them in envelopes and returned them to the research assistants.

and this is the  “Participants”

Characteristics of the Participants Study participants included 774 students. They included 236 first year students, 157 sophomores, 177 juniors, 157 seniors, 38 graduate students, and 13 who did not identify their class. Their age range was 18 – 55, with a mean age of 20.75 years; females comprised 67.1% of the study population. The majority of the population was white, nonHispanic (90.6%). The students represented all four colleges of the university (Humanities and Social Sciences, Education and Allied Studies, Science and Mathematics, Business); most students (94.5%) were full time students. Although the sample was a convenience sample, it was quite representative of the student population. The sample represents the same percentage of males and females, and whites and students of color as does the university population. All grade levels and all four colleges of the university were represented in very close proportion to the overall student enrollment in each of the grade levels and colleges.
