In order to ensure quality, this survey was developed according to the following steps: (1) choice of the method to approach respondents (in this case, email and social networks), (2) selection and definition of the variables to measure, (3) identification of the items in each variable, (4) description of the instructions, and (5) deployment of a pilot test of the survey draft.
Descriptions of the instruction sessions by respondents were consistent across the different institutions so that, even with institutional variances, responses could be categorized and quantified.
Participants were then asked to provide a detailed description of the image (instructions: "Please describe your image as if you were explaining a picture or a film clip to someone who is unable to see it")., and all of the subsequent items referred to this specific image during the past two weeks.
