Hi Isn't it amazing that we endorse regulations that require someone who is married to get permission to undertake such activities as answering surveys, learning lists of words, reading text, and participating in numerous other inocuous activities associated with behavioral and social science research? It is ridiculous enough to require it for university students (who get exposed to all sorts of material in their courses and their lives without parental permission), but truly preposterous when it comes to people who are married, and perhaps even themselves parents.
