Dear participant,


Thank you for your interest in the study Animals in the Lens!

Leiden University and the University of Amsterdam are investigating human-animal interactions in collaboration with the ARTIS Royal Zoo of Amsterdam. For this, we are looking for 100 participants who want to go on a digital safari and share their experience with us.

The study takes about 30 minutes to complete in total and you can take part to it whenever suits you best. Since the study takes place online and because this is not a standard survey, you will need a laptop or PC with a webcam and an internet connection to be able to participate.*

The study consists of two parts:

  1. In the first part, you will be shown a few short videos of animals. For you, our students have filmed hundreds of animals in the ARTIS Royal Zoo during the lockdown! Film yourself and tell us what you see, think or feel while watching these clips. This part takes about 10 minutes.
  2. The second part consists of a questionnaire about nature and animals. This part also takes about 10 minutes to complete.

Do you want to participate in this unique study and go on a digital safari in the ARTIS Zoo? Do not wait too long, because the number of places is limited.
