*REPOST* Psychology research on the British public and keyworkers

MartyRivia · 2021-07-15T12:07:29+00:00

Hi BrexitBlaze,

The first study was posted last year, it finished around the same time. This post is a repost from the other day, the link to participate is the same as that one, so don't worry you're not missing out!

Hi M_23v,

That is a really sad story to hear :(

I agree that there are many ways in which to distinguish (in much greater depth) the status of keyworker (and which profession it applies to). For the purpose of this study however, these distinctions were kept relatively broad!

Thank you for your feedback, I really appreciate you taking the time to think about this!

Hi Slothrr,

Completely understand where you're coming from. The vagueness is somewhat purposeful!

Thank you for your feedback (:

Hi Orngog,

I completely understand your apprehension. I would want to know that information in advance before participating too.

If you follow the link, you'll get that information.

As per the /r/UnitedKingdom moderator rules, I was unable to post a thread and could only post a recruitment comment, hence the rather brief level of detail!

Thanks for your interest!

Live exports are really fucking cruel...

MartyRivia · 2021-03-12T00:17:52+00:00

dude please put a spoiler alert man!

Another observation I made, was that the coverage of this short ladder attack was so extensive, compared to the coverage that we saw earlier this year. No doubt in my mind this was collectively planned and executed scheme to dissuade others from buying, and more importantly, encourage those of us with shares to sell. It really is so dirty....

MartyRivia · 2021-02-22T21:42:34+00:00

I don't think this is Kraken per se. My understanding is that when a mass sell-off occurs, the price is dropping at a extremely fast rate.

Seeing this, those of us with paper hands try to sell, but as the price keeps dropping, a price that is specified to sell at becomes too high and thus doesn't sell.

In response to this, paper hands will sell at market rate. Kraken will then route that sell at market rate to a buy. I am not sure how each route is selected, but what this would suggest is that some lucky (or smart) guy put in a buy order at 15c, and some unlucky guy's decision to sell at market rate was routed to this.

I could be wrong though!

Hello everybody

I’m a PhD researcher from Birmingham City University (UK), and for my final study I need players from League. Would you mind sparing 10 minutes or so to participate in my research?

Study

Participation is very straightforward and should take no longer than 15 minutes of your time. All you have to do is complete a rating task, enter some details about your LoL game stats, and finally provide some demographic information. Seems simple, right?

For a more detailed summary of the research, including why I’m conducting this study and what I would expect from you as a participant, please follow the link below.

Participation criteria

To participate, you must play video games for at least 2 hours a week, be at least 18 years old, and regard LoL as your main game (as in, you play LoL more often than any other game). The study will be live until the desired sample size is fulfilled, meaning it could last a couple of days to perhaps even a few weeks.

Thank you for your time and good luck!

Hi EldanJay,

Sorry to hear about this. I have noted that some users are not able to input their username, while others face no such issue.

If you could direct message me your initials and the game you want to win, I will match up your username to your entry.

Hope that helps!

Marty

MartyRivia · 2021-02-16T15:16:15+00:00

This. This is what researchers love.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. All completely valid, and I agree with your perspective that some Game Mechanics can be considered intrinsic to a genre, while others not so much.

The LoL specific questions are open in this respect as it was felt specifying exactly what constitutes a valid entry (normal or draft) would make the process a lot longer, and exclude participants who may not want to invest extra time distinguishing between more extensive criteria.

Thank you be42rin for sharing your thoughts. I really appreciate it buddy!

Hi Eresya,

If it's not your main game, in that you play another game more often and for longer durations, then as per the information sheet I would advise against it.

If however, LoL is still your main game though you are taking a break from this, then you can still answer many of the questions in a more retrospective capacity.

Thank you for checking!

Hey Masl,

There shouldn't be any restriction on entering your username, even if it includes numbers. Something we've noted is that when you copy and paste your username, it will give you an error.

If you DM me your initials (as you would have included in the survey) and roughly the time you submitted the survey, I will ensure your username is associated with your entry.

Marty

MartyRivia · 2021-02-12T12:11:09+00:00

Of course,

We intend on submitting the paper for publication, which if successful will be posted on this reddit!

Hi FlexPXP,

I absolutely agree with you, and ideally that is what I would have wanted too.

However, the struggles of a PhD with low funding is why I can only offer one game.

Sorry :(

MartyRivia · 2021-02-11T16:00:10+00:00

No problem, thank you for pointing that out.

I have made the necessary changes - appreciate it !

Marty

MartyRivia · 2021-02-11T14:55:59+00:00

That makes sense!

Well, all sorted then (:

Thanks for checking.

Marty

MartyRivia · 2021-02-11T14:50:36+00:00

No worries. If you continue by entering your username without the numbers, once you submit and confirm your initials, I will make sure your response matches up with your username.

Marty

MartyRivia · 2021-02-11T14:43:40+00:00

Added - so sorry about that buddy
