What are participants' basic demographics?

Birthdate and Gender Identity Survey is an 2-question measure of people's age and gender identity. This is a shortened version of the longer Demographics Survey block. This survey can be used to explore relationships between demographics and variables like empathy, climate change anxiety, or working memory. Past research suggests that older individuals showed declines in working memory (Kliegel & Jager, 2006).

What data is collected? How is it scored?
The following variables are recorded:

• BGIS_age: Higher scores mean participants are older.
• BGIS_birthdate: This is mostly just collected to calculate age. This would be difficult to use in analyses.
• BGIS_gender: Shows whether participants identify as male, female, non-binary, or other.
• BGIS_gender_other: Shows any text participants typed into the "other" box.

Raw data: 2 questions that make 4 variables (age, birthdate, gender, and any additional gender responses).
