Survey & Research Thread

[:1]We regularly get requests to recruit members to participate in research for university courses or general surveys and rather than have rule forbidding them we feel a happy compromise would be to create a thread in which to post your requests. This way they don't overrun the forums but members interested in taking part know where to find the latest opportunities to get involved.

This thread is for surveys and research relevant to MMOs/RPGs or gaming in general. Do not post if you are wishing to sell something to participants. I check all surveys for any funny business

Thanks

EDIT - I will recreate this thread when it gets too long so it never goes past one page of posts, so your post will always be on the first page.|||In an effort to keep our forums clean of mass surveys, all surveys must be posted in this thread. This thread will also be cleaned out periodically.

If the system is abused or not adhered to, we will simply not allow surveys to be posted on this site as they are viewed as spam by some community members.

EDIT by snowieken: Merged the two existing sticky threads and cleaned them out, only keeping the surveys from the last two months.|||I am a college student seeking information from the World of Warcraft community regarding its economy of virtual goods. I am attempting to explore possible relationships between virtual goods or currency and its real life counterparts. I have prepared a survey and I ask that anybody interested in participating to please take some time and answer a few questions regarding your own experiences with virtual economies.

Thank you for your time, and I look forward to your responses.

-Note: This post and its links displays no personal player information. All collected survey responses remain anonymous. I would also like to make clear the act of purchasing virtual Warcraft items is not allowed by Blizzard. The questions regarding the purchase of gold are hypothetical and only used as a measurement to observe and quantify the perceived values of one's time.|||Hello Everyone!

I am conducting a survey on stress management through WOW. This is for my dissertation in clinical psychology at the University of Detroit-Mercy.

I will be doing a random drawing for a FREE 60-day time card. There will be five winners with one card per winner.

The survey takes about 20-25 minutes to complete. For more information on the study, my background, or to participate please check out my website at: www.wowstressstudy.com

Being a player, I was frustrated by the large amount of studies focusing on addiction. I am interested in the positive & negative impact of WOW and how it relates to stress levels.|||Your opportunity to participate in a research study at Deakin University.

I am a PhD Candidate at Deakin University, Australia conducting research into finding a solution to the booming crime of 'virtual property theft' in virtual world games and environments (Second Life, WoW, Eve, Entropia etc).

I am looking for anyone who has interacted in virtual worlds or owned virtual property to volunteer. Participation in this study will involve the completion of a short anonymous survey. The survey is a bit generalized in sections, so forgive that. So far have 800 participants looking for around 1000.

The goal of this project is to understand the factors that have lead to 'virtual property theft' and hence aid in finding a solution to this billion dollar a year online crime.

If you would like to participate you can do so by following this link:

(The survey is anonymous, no questions about your login, name and the website is not trojan infected: surveymonkey is a legit survey website).|||Hi Everyone,
