Hi fellow gamers:
I am a doctoral student in Media Studies at Fielding Graduate University in Santa Barbara, CA. For my dissertation, I am studying the relationship between people's participation in the online game World of Warcraft and their off-line social activities. I would really appreciate your help. The survey is 39 mulitple choice questions and takes 10-15 minutes. Participation in this survey is voluntary and a participant’s responses will not be collected until they choose to submit their survey results. Survey responses will be anonymous. Due to federal regulations concerning the protection of minors, please only take the survey if you are 18 or older. You will not be allowed to complete the survey if you are younger than 18. In addition, if you are willing to participate in further research on this topic, you will have the opportunity to voluntarily provide contact information at the conclusion of the survey.
If you have any concerns, questions, or would like more information about the survey, you can contact me at
mark.meachem@dc.edu or you can contact my dissertation chair Dr. Malcolm Bonner at mbonner @fielding.edu
