Thank you so much for participating in my study!

What does participation involve?
You will answer questions about:  
- Which phase of the menstrual cycle you are in, how you experience your work, and a question about your sleep quality.  

Criteria for participation  
- Be a working woman (part-time/full-time) aged 18–45.  
- Have a regular menstrual cycle of 21–35 days.  
- Not use hormonal contraceptives (birth control pills, mini-pills, progestin-only pills, contraceptive implant, vaginal ring, hormonal IUD). A copper IUD is ok.  
- Not being pregnant or breastfeeding. 
- Not work shifts or have an irregular sleep schedule.  

Voluntariness and anonymity 
Participation is completely voluntary, and you can withdraw at any time without any consequences. All responses will be treated confidentially and anonymously—no personal data will be collected that could identify you.  

Time required  
Completing the survey takes approximately 5–10 minutes.

Informed consent for participation in survey

The purpose of this survey is to examine how women's motivation in the workplace is affected by their menstrual cycle. Participation is entirely voluntary, and you may choose to withdraw at any time without any consequences. We kindly ask you to answer the questions as honestly as possible.  

All responses will be treated confidentially and anonymously – no personal data will be collected that could identify you. As we have no way of identifying individual participants, we will also not be able to provide you with your individual data after the survey has been completed.  

The collected data will be used solely for research purposes and stored digitally on a password-protected device. To contribute to research transparency, anonymized data files may be made available to other researchers as part of the examination process. Group-level data will be analyzed and presented upon the completion of my master's thesis.  

If you have any questions or concerns regarding the study, please feel free to contact me or my supervisor:
