Internet Culture Study: Round 1 (There's prizes to be won)

[F.X Clampazzo]

I'm helping with an academic research project/graduate school project one of my old mates is spearheading into how the internet's specific cultures, places, etc interact and overlap. It's going to be a very complex project and before we get fully into the swing of things, we're working to get some base data on how specific groups are viewed as part of this before we properly delve into the specifics of how each group or culture interacts with not only each other but the different parts of the internet at large.

So here's the deal, it's a bit of a work but if you play along you'll get entered into the pool for a prize. Depending on how many people respond in total there will be more prizes. At least 1 per community it's distributed to, and more depending on size of that community's participation. If you come back for any subsequent surveys I post for this project you'll get multiple entries in the drawing.

Current estimate is we'll be doing the drawings in a few weeks, but if we get enough submissions we'll be drawing sooner than that.

Prizes will range from steam gifts, online gift cards for shit like amazon, whatever really. We'll be establishing a monetary limit depending on how many prizes we have to give
out, and depending on how much we have in funding for this. If your handle is the exact same as someone else's then I guess you just get a slight advantage at prizes. Idk, I didn't come up with this system, I'm primarily helping with distribution and interpretation of data.

Full disclosure: I'm being paid an "I owe you one and maybe some drinks" for this.

So is this a survey about how when different cultures meet online and how they view each other?

[F.X Clampazzo]

Eventually that will be a topic covered more directly in regards to how the participant views interactions between specific groups. Or at least that's what I've understood from what my mate told me. But
the base line here is mostly about how the participant views specific groups in their own respect.

So I started doing it.

After the fourth round of the same exact mind-numbing questions, I gave up. Just got so bored.

Not sure how you'd get the information you need while reducing this. As it is, though, it's just way too fucking monotonous and repetitive to respond to.

[F.X Clampazzo]

Good feedback, I pitched the same complaint when looking over it as well, and I think someone else said they were getting similar responses. I'll ask for a revision with at least less statements, and ideally the more open ended questions.

I'll update the OP to reflect this if it happens. Otherwise I'm pretty much stuck where I am since I'm not on the team to write surveys.

Keep us posted!

I'd love to help your mate out, but I'm not gonna melt my brain into mush for it.

Sounds interesting, thanks for sharing! Right now I'm also working on research project for college. My procrastination has been getting worse for the past few years. If I have an assignment due at midnight on the day of, I will literally waste my time on the internet as the hours count down until I panic enough to start the work.
