Online Gaming Survey
I first want to preface that I obtained permission from Zardon to post this a while back. I am a grad student at Purdue University and am studying online gaming communities. This survey should only take about 5 minutes to complete and you'd be helping me out a TON.
Ideally I would like your responses to remain anonymous. It would be great if you could PM me your response or email me your response at lwmadsen@purdue.edu, but if you don't feel like it feel free to just reply to the thread. Since we probably don't want this thread getting freakin' long I would appreciate it if you would just limit your replies to only answering the survey questions in this manner: "1. -Your Answer 2. - Your Answer 3. - Your Answer etc." Also please don't quote this first post as it will also make things a little wacky. This way it will be nice and clean and easy for me to enter into my statistical program. Also for the sake of validity please answer honestly and sincerely. I am interested in the responses not making fun of the people who respond...for once. I won't record your name in conjunction with your answers so everything will be confidential.I really appreciate you guys doing this. It's gonna help out a ton! And finally... the survey! 1. How old are you? Younger than 10 10-15 16-21 22-27 28-33 34-39 40-55 56 or Older 2. Are you male or female? Male Female 3. Which genre of online-games do you play most often with other people?

On average how many hours per week do you spend playing games online with people you know? Please type your response: 5.

I really appreciate the FANTASTIC response this thread has recieved. I have posted this survey in a few other forums but have recieved the highest response from Driverheaven. As far as I'm concerned this is easily the friendliest forum I have encountered and you all should be commended.
I do however, need around 10 more respondents if possible. If you are bored and have nothing else better to do I would REALLY appreciate it if you could take a couple minutes and fill out this survey. Thank you again for all your help! |

I first want to thank everyone again who has contributed to the survey thus far. It is VERY much appreciated. I've had nearly 50 responses so far which is great! This will be the last week that I will be collecting data and just wanted to give anyone else out there one last pportunity to contribute. If you are bored and have a couple minutes I would really appreciate your reponses.
Thanks again! To the Mods: Thanks again for making it a sticky. This DRASTICALLY improved my response rate. Feel free to un sticky it after Monday April 11th. |
