   Community activity survey
  For a university psychology course we're investigating community involvement. Particularly we're interested in when visitors of online communities start to actively participate.To do this we've designed a short survey and posted it at multiple game programming communities. It will take approximately 5 to 10 minutes to complete.Link to survey Any comments can be placed in this thread and any conclusions from this project will be shared with this community.We, of course, would appreciate your participation.   
  Some of the questions are a little iffy. For instance, asking someone "how do others percieve you" is never a good way to get meaningful data.   ;Quote:Original post by ApochPiQSome of the questions are a little iffy. For instance, asking someone "how do others percieve you" is never a good way to get meaningful data.I don't entirely agree. But of course you have to be realistic and be careful of the interpretation of the answers to such questions.Thank you all for participating and we hope to find some interesting results to share with this community.The survey will stay online for a while longer so you can still participate if you want.   ;Quote:Original post by ApochPiQSome of the questions are a little iffy. For instance, asking someone "how do others percieve you" is never a good way to get meaningful data.This is a psychology course - I tend to believe that self-evaluation gives very meaningful results when you conduct a survey ("the majority of early forum adopter tend to believe that they are well perceived by newer forum users"). I find it perfectly valid :)Regards,   ;  Fair point; if collecting self-assessments is the goal, then of course it works fine [smile] The risk is in using self-assessment questions to try to draw conclusions about anything but self-assessment patterns.   ;  Is that a bad thing that i had to look up 'introvert'? [headshake]   ;  Perhaps the word 'introvert' is more common in Dutch than it is in English.I've closed the survey, thanks for participating.   ;Quote:Original post by SeraphimPerhaps the word 'introvert' is more common in Dutch than it is in English.I've closed the survey, thanks for participating.Introvert is a pretty common word in English.I was going to take the survey, but didn't have time until now. Oh well.
