WoW - Survey
Hello! :)
I conduct a small research study of WoW players, and I need your help!! Please, fill in a form. It will take only 7-10 minutes of your time. A link to the survey Thanks In Advance! Sincerely yours, Romanson89 |
I think you may need to rethink several of the questions in your survey. It seems to be based on the opinion that most WoW players are high school or college age. While there are undoubtedly a lot of players in that age group many of us are older, some of us much older. Personally it's been so long since I was in school I can't remember my GPA.
Also this survey seems to be very biased towards furthering many of the negative stereotypes surrounding the game and many MMORPG's (i.e. that they are addictive and negatively impact the lives of the players). I fail to see the point of this survey in all honesty. Is this for a some degree program like many of the other questionaires and interviews that have been posted here? Perhaps you should explian in your post what exactly you are trying to confirm or disprove with your survey, and also some of your qualifications for making decisions regarding your research. To anyone else that takes this survey consider yourself warned as to the contents of it. However the link is clean although it is on surveymonkey.com and not a .edu or similar site. |

Also, as Othgar mentioned, there are many many many "older" players. Parents, grandparents, etc. Quote:

---------------- I highly recommend that you review the purpose of this survey. What is your study based on? What is your hypothesis? How can you get accurate results that will NOT skew the data in any such way. Skewed data is the #1 reason why many people take studies done by someone looking for a specific answer with a grain of salt. You see what you want to see. The data comes out slanted the way you want it to. Your questions need to be clear, concise and relevant to your study. |
Yes, this survey seems completely pointless. Based on the questions asked, I think you'd get pretty much the same results had you asked only two questions: "Do you feel that you spend too much time playing WoW?" and "Do you feel that playing WoW has a negative impact on your life?". :rolleyes:
Also, the level of English fluency displayed in the survey questions feels very low. If you're going to create a survey for an English-language audience, you should run your questions by someone fluent in English to check that they sound okay. No native English speaker would ever say "Yes, I study in the high school", for example; they would say "I attend high school" or "I go to high school" or "I'm in high school". And, as Seerah pointed out, many of your questions are irrelevant for adults over 25. |
I don't think I've ever taken a survey where I've answered "Not Applicable" so many times. :D

I'm actually doubting the OP will ever come back after that (only on the entire site) post.

Thank you so much for your constructive criticism!!
Now I know what to improve next time. :) If there is someone, who haven't filled in a form, please help me in my survey and fill the form in: A link to the survey Sincerely yours, Romanson89 |
Generally people will be more willing to fill out a survey (or take some other action) if you explain what the purpose of the survey is. For example, are you a student? Which university? What field of study? What kind of project are you working on? How will the information collected by the survey help your project?
