Psychology research

[juliet]

I have another research project to do for my psychology course, and would greatly appreciate your help. It's a brief survey - should take about 5 minutes to fill in. Your answers will be anonymous. Further information, and a link to the survey itself, are here.

Comments on this post will be screened, to avoid people saying things that will skew the results. If it seems that a discussion is wanted, I'll put up another post after I've got enough results and can stop collecting data. I will definitely post preliminary results and initial discussion once I have those (which will be after Easter as that's when term starts & I can get at SPSS again for stats analysis), and will allow comments on that post.

Please feel free to pass the link on to other people! More data always good. And thank you very much to anyone who takes the time to fill the survey in.

Usual warning on self-selecting samples applies...

Oh yes, entirely, & I will be mentioning this in the write-up. Mind you, a) this is IMO one of the main issues with a *lot* of 'proper' (i.e. non-student) psych research[0]; & b) most of my fellow students are getting their sample from going round the LSBU cafeteria at lunchtime which has its own set of issues!

[0] See also: American psych undergrads as the Most Studied Group Of People Ever; and yet it is blithely assumed that all results generalise. Grumble grumble grumble.

This is getting forwarded around the place. :-) Is it ok if folks from Ireland participate? Not strictly the UK, I know, but there's a bunch of people I can forward it on to if you like ...

[goes 'blimey'] (over 150, & I needed min 40!)

Yes, sure! Although I think at this point no need to encourage folk particularly to forward it further beyond that (given that I'm already so far over minimum - which is great, of course!).

(FYI: the limited-to-UK issue was a late addition to get around the fact that someone pointed out I'd not asked about location, & attitudes to such things might well vary accordingly.)

Thanks for taking the time to fill it in!
