Hello! 
 
My name is Daniel Sciboz; I am a doctoral student 
in the Department of Organizational and Social 
Psychology at Humboldt University in Berlin. 
The purpose of my research is to learn more about 
cultural diversity in today's organizations and society.  

I used the search engine Google.com as a tool to 
collect any and only email addresses; that is how I have 
been able to reach you.

I would appreciate it very much, if you took three 
or four minutes to answer the questions (23) included 
in the following questionnaire. 
 
Your answers will remain anonymous and 
in no case be identifiable with any 
personal names.
 
Would you be interested to see more information 
about this study? 

Website: http://jugendserver.spinnenwerk.de/~daniel.sciboz/

Would you like to be informed about the results? 

E-mail: daniel.sciboz@psychologie.hu-berlin.de 

Your help is very valuable to me.

Kind regards, 
 
Daniel Sciboz
