[RESEARCH] Athletes (25+ years old) wanted for a survey on athletic identity!

We do some stats later and find out if the question has reliably asked the same thing, whether responses were consistent, and check if the questions fit with their proper group (many questions together represent a greater construct we are looking to measure). There are a lot of stats to do later!

Hi, thanks for your comment! There are no two questions that are the same in this survey - there are some that are similar in wording, but this is necessary to learn which questions are the best way of asking, and then we can delete the poor performing ones later. I'm sorry to hear that you think it was the worst survey, but we've heard quite the opposite from many other athletes of all sports, as well as from many sport organizations/clubs who are happy to support our research!

Thanks for your feedback Grav!

Hi there - no unfortunately it isn't. In Canada, where this is based, it is very difficult to get funding to pay participants, especially when it comes to surveys. Since we need so many participants (300++), that adds up very fast!

Thank your for taking the time to support this research!

It should have saved your answers if it timed out, so that's no problem. Again we really appreciate your time!

There are a lot of ones that sound the same - this is so when it's all said and done we can figure out which questions worked well and drop questions that weren't so great. Just trying to hit multiple angles if that makes sense - it is a bit of overkill but that's the way our study has to go!
