World of Warcraft gaming & Interpersonal relationships survey
|
Hello,
I'm a student at the University of Georgia, Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication. As a part of my Media Research and Theory class this semester, my group is studying the effects of MMORPG gaming (specifically related to World of Warcraft) on the gamer's interpersonal relationships (meaning relationships with family, significant others, academic responsibilities, and workplace obligations).
We're especially interested in college-aged gamers (18-24 years of age) who are currently or have been formerly in committed relationships. If anyone from the Vault forums feels they meet these criteria and would like to be a part of our research, please follow the below links to our survey.
The survey is 19 questions long in two parts. The first part covers demographic information and gaming behaviors. The second part covers your interpersonal relationships.
WOW Gaming & Interpersonal Relationships, pt. 1--
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/WWDTXR7
WOW Gaming & Interpersonal Relationships, pt. 2--
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/CFTBKZJ
PLEASE NOTE: This survey is completely anonymous. We are not using any of your personal information for profit or any other explotative means. This survey has been approved by the Institutional Review Board through the University's Office of the Vice President for Research.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
rchdsimpson

Your survey is flawed. Questions in regarding to schooling require you to answer but you have no "Does not apply" option for those answers. For example you ask: How many hours a week do you spend studying for class? (include time spent in class) I'm not taking any classes but there's no option for that. But the question requires an answer so your results are going to be flawed.
Edit: Oh that's a gem of a question too...
Would you say that your gaming behaviors have negatively impacted your interpersonal relationships?
Your only options are all Yes.
Yeah I don't think you're going to get ANY accurate information from your survey. Most people actually treat their gaming HOBBY just like any other hobby.

Thanks for the input. I've edited the questions to hopefully make them more valid. It's all a learning experience, right?

The way you have it set up, you will not be able to get any conclusion other than non-significant results. I would scrap it and start from the beginning, and go right by protocol.

Because it has gotten to the point that saying "keylogger!!" in one of these threads is like looking up at the sky and saying "blue!!"

I'm confused. OP, are you trying to learn how to poll? Or are you polling to try to learn something about WoW & personal relationships? So far, you're 0 for 2 if you count both.

If you think my opinion is idiotic, re-read yours.
Dont worry I will give my opinion anyways.
The PvP MMO is NOT a "niche" market, Mythic is just a "niche" company.

If you were actually a graduate student who had gone through the process to receive IRB approval for human subjects research, you'd know very well by now that "IRB" does NOT stand for "International Research Board".
Your "study" doesn't appear to meet the IRB requirements set up by your own supposed university. If you knew what an IRB was maybe you'd know that.
You're either clueless about survey research, in which case you should get off these boards until you can correct your information, post a proper introduction and get your act together, or you're scamming, in which case you should also get off these boards.

I don't know what you're trying to pull here, but you're an idiot.
That is hilarious...all he would have to do is actually READ the site that he linked....
This must be one of those students who has done nothing but beer bong his way through the semester, and is now trying to throw a project together at the last minute.
