[game_edu] Recruiting Volunteers, ages 18 to 65, to participate in a study on the relationships between Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game motivations, attention, and wellbeing

[Jeffrey Kalman]

Hello baylor,

Yes, as a portion of the questionnaire concerns the respondent’s motivations for playing MMORPGs. (I should mention that it generally takes people less than 15 minutes to fill out the entire questionnaire—despite the outdated info on the flyer).

Regards,

Participation in this study is completely voluntary and participants are free to stop at any point without consequences. At the end of the survey participants will have the option of entering into a drawing for one of three $100 Amazon gift cards. Their participation will contribute to research that is looking to help find more useful ways to convey information to those with different levels of attention.

After consent there is a survey that takes 60 minutes or less to complete, if the participant chooses to participate.
