My name is Mohotarema Rashid, and I am a doctoral candidate in the Interdisciplinary Information Science Ph.D. program (Data Science Concentration) at the University of North Texas (UNT), College of Information. I am investigating the predictors of fake financial news sharing for my dissertation. I invite you to participate in this research study by completing the attached survey. The survey is an online questionnaire that will take approximately 10–15 minutes to complete. No personally identifiable information will be collected except for an optional email address if you wish to be entered into a drawing for a gift card. Your identity will remain confidential, and your personal information will not be linked to your responses. Participation in this study is entirely voluntary, and you may withdraw at any time. If you choose to participate, please answer all questions as accurately and honestly as possible. Thank you for your time and support in advancing this research.
