2.1. Participants

Overall, 366 sports science students from six universities in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, participated in the online survey (SoSci Survey) between 17 April 2020 and 24 April 2020. Participants were recruited through mailing lists of sport institutes at universities in Baden-Württemberg and via social media (e.g., Facebook groups, Instagram, and WhatsApp). They were between 18 and 39 years old (M_age = 22.89, SD = 2.87). The sample consisted of 160 men and 205 women. One participant identified as non-binary and had to be excluded for the gender-segregated analyses.
