Introduction
The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of the kinds of parenting a person received on their cognitions and emotions as well as justice judgements. Participation involves reading short vignettes and answering questions about what you read. You will then answer questions about the way you were parented as a child as well as about several aspects of your personality characteristics. Basic demographic questions will also be asked. You will then be asked to complete a computerised task. The study will take approximately 30 minutes to complete.
