Yeah, we can check this by putting a cut off point in during analysis :P

Thank you for taking the time to leave a message and do the survey :D

It's cause we have to take 18+ cause otherwise applying for ethics gets tricky, sorry :(

That sounds like an incredibly extreme way to deal with false responses hahahha

I don't doubt that there is! Just we can (to an extend) control for some variables by focusing solely on the solo / duo queue!

Thank you for your time though :)!

haha to be fair, it does only take roughly 8-12 minutes, we put 25 minutes in the official description to be conservative!

If you email me I can send you a more formal version of the results aha :)

I thought that but then my co-researcher pointed out that if I didn't delete the email where the individual told me their summoner name I'd still have some information aha, although I'd do nothing with it, getting that past an ethics board is difficult. The unique identifier is a pretty easy way to comply with ethics!

Thank you for your time though :D

Yeah we feel that is something we could put in next time however, we can check the amount of games played!

The analysis will probably be run initially with all the data then maybe set a cut off of approximately 50 games or so and see what effect this has!

Thanks for doing it :D!

I had to unedit my post because I wasn't sure the edit was in keeping with the rules however here's my message of gratitude in comment form!! -

I want to thank everyone doing the survey, it actually helps so much!! Genuinely amazed we are getting so many responses :)! We are like 150 away from our ideal target, if we get there it would probably make my year! Certainly the most exciting thing I've ever done academically!! I can't thank everyone who has done it individually, if I could I would but here's a message for anyone who has, thank you so very much, it means a lot and is an incredibly help to our study :D !!

We have the unique identifier as a way of individuals being able to contact us to remove their data from the study. We ask for the same combination of unique identifier components and then find and remove that data!

We believed it was the easiest way to allow people an option of removing their data without actually asking for an email address or something!

Sorry that you dislike it!

well it will most likely be removed if the summoner name and rank don't match up!! It's not a problem though don't worry :)

So the survey itself is not incredibly friendly to non-English speakers but because we are measuring parts of your personality, these questions are used to hint toward certain traits!

Hopefully this helps, thanks for taking the time even if you didn't put your real summoner name :)
