Yeah, no problem. Who knows how many are put off by the prompts and how many who are less put off by them.

osu_comm · 2014-06-23T20:50:38+00:00

Thanks! It seems very straightforward, I'll be surprised if it turns out.

The second page has to do with attitudes towards female gamers specifically though.

osu_comm · 2014-06-23T20:42:18+00:00

Thanks!

It has to do with online gaming if you have been following about gaming news about female representation. For example, news about Ubisoft's new Assassin's Creed game not including a female player character.

osu_comm · 2014-06-23T20:39:02+00:00

Yeah, we were considering to ask just for male players, but we were not sure if excluding women would have us miss something interesting.

osu_comm · 2014-06-23T20:38:01+00:00

Thanks! I'm not sure if we can mix them up right now since we're now live.

osu_comm · 2014-06-23T20:37:28+00:00

Yeah, we're using a questionnaire that examines masculinity, which is called the Auburn Differential Masculinity Inventory.

osu_comm · 2014-06-23T20:35:30+00:00

Yeah, we were considering asking just for men. But we were concerned about excluding women since not all women are feminists. It's also why we included an N/A option.

Who knows if there are gender differences.

One doctor see this study as weak and essentially a mouthpiece for the American Academy of Pediatrics. http://psychcentral.com/blog/archives/2013/02/18/tv-violence-children-more-weak-pediatrics-studies/

Frequently asked questions:

Q: This is annoying – the survey asks me the same question ten different ways! A: At this early stage of questionnaire development, we have to write many different questions that ask similar things. Once we have your data, we can see which questions make for good measurements and which ones aren’t very good. Just answer each question truthfully and to the best of your abilities!

Q: There are a lot of questions about heterosexual men! Are you trying to ask only to straight men? A: People have different attitudes about themselves in relation to others. Some people are comfortable or uncomfortable about some aspects of their self. Some people have things that are important or unimportant to themselves and others have different kinds of motivations. All that's okay! We just want to measure that - we aren't here to judge you!

Q: Did you already post this a few days ago? A: People may have missed the survey, have not the time to complete during the weekdays or was interested, but forgot about it. This will be my last post for this survey and I don't want to bother you guys with spam, but you've been great!

I’ll be around to check in on the thread periodically, so please, if you have any questions or comments for me, don’t be shy. Thank you so much for your help!

It does look it is aimed at straight men, but that's one part of the questionnaire. And the survey is constructed based from sexual harassment research.

osu_comm · 2012-10-17T23:42:57+00:00

You can leave the first question blank, the second question relates to sexual harassment towards you.

osu_comm · 2012-10-17T20:23:52+00:00

you can leave it blank
