So the first time I get on Plurk in like forever and it's to ask for a request.

So I'm doing a research project for my department on social anxiety and this project requires me to do a survey.

Here is a link to the survey.

www.surveymonkey.com/s/N...

I swear to you it's not some spam survey it's one I put together.

It's totally anonymous for you convienience and it will take you about 5 minutes to complete.

took it

Your contribution to my research is very appreciated and it will provide me with important data.

Thank you very much for your time!

And thank you Cartoonaholic (this project is what is keeping me busty actually)

If it goes well I'll be flying out to DC for a conference

Anyway I've talked long enough. Thank's so much you guys! Pass it on if you can.

You'll get more responses if you change your first question to allow for genders outside of the binary.

agreeing with the non-binary option request, if that can get changed...?

Yes this has actually been brought to my attention. Unfortunately monkey survey isn't really set up that way.

I learned that even if you give the "other: please state" option you have to pay in order to retrieve that information.

It's the same with fill in the blank options, you have to pay in order to retrieve the information.

I actually prefer fill fill in the blank because other lumps people into a category that to me says "different"

....so it won't let you just make a third option, even if you don't retrieve the info on what was submitted for it?

No, it will let you make a third option, but if you make an option that says other and please state like with the race question, I learned it won't actually let you retrieve what the other information is.

But I have told those individuals who have felt uncomfortable about answering certain survey questions that they are free to skip certain questions

it let you make your own labels on the options for that question? Could go "genderqueer/other" and "prefer not to say" I'd imagine?

People have skipped the gender question and a couple of other questions they didn't feel resonated with them which is one of the good things about this survey

aha. That works too. (maybe a note on that question itself just saying it's skippable?)

Yeah, but the only problem with finite and infinite options is that someone will be left out because I only know so many gender type

I know there are a lot of them and I know different countries have different terms as well, so I made it in a way that questions can be skipped.

And the feedback has been great.

gotcha.

took it

Thank you for understanding and feel free to answer the questions that resonate with you. Unfortunately survey monkeys paid services can make making a survey a little flustering

Thank you so much

BTW, my friend did something on SurveyMonkey (I believe it was that site) that she wanted to use to create an infographic. Once she got enough responses (over 100 I believe), they wanted to charge

her for getting the results. She switched to another site, but I need to hunt around as to what it was that she ended up using.

(Of course, now watch me have this whole thing backward and SurveyMonkey being the one she used in the end. >.> )

if you are looking for other survey sits, www.thesistools.com/inde... is a good one

I'll recommend that website to my professor it looks like it might be better.

took the survey! o/

I'm not sure if this falls under the same sort of thing since this is a survey, but would this require a consent form of any kind since you're using data collected from various individuals?

(I know proper experiments require consent forms, but I'm a bit hazy on if it's just a survey; asking in case, because I'd hate to see someone's collected data get thrown out for something like that :<)

Yeah I was thinking about the consent form things too but I don't think it's necessary if you're not going to publish it?

Nah, we're not getting into that much detail, it's just a basic survey. The data will be used in a loose way for the research paper portion of the project.
