I'm doing my Capstone for my major right now, which involves designing a study and then carrying it out. Right now, I'm at the point where I need to get a lot of participants. So, I'm asking for your help. I need undergraduate students to take an online survey. It should only take 15 minutes to complete and you can fill out a page, walk away from your computer, fill out another, etc., so you don't have to do it all in one go. If you're an undergraduate student, please click here to take the survey. The responses are completely confidential, so if you feel weird taking the survey even if we never talk, you never update/comment, if you found this entry through your friends' friends page, or you're a lurker, you can still take the survey and I'll have absolutely no way of connecting your responses to you, or of even knowing that you took the survey.
Additionally, if you're not an undergraduate student but you still want to help out (please!), you can do so as well. If you know of undergraduate students (friends, roommates, siblings, etc.), I would really appreciate it if you would send the link (http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=yFRsWVoL4EYXyepOBUTeDQ_3d_3d) to a few that you know. It would also be really helpful if you linked to this post in your livejournal, if you wanted to do that. Also, if you know of some community where you can post a survey and get participants (I've looked a little and haven't found anything, but I haven't looked very hard), then if you could let me know about that, that would be great.
I feel weird/bad asking so desperately for participants, but I need a minimum of 100, and I do not actually know 100 undergraduate students. I'm sending it to a few groups of people and asking them to send it to a couple people each, but I don't know how likely it is they'll actually send it out, and I would need them to each send it to a minimum of 3 people and for every single person they send it to to actually take it for me to get close to 100.
Anyways, I will be reposting the link to the survey and to this post every couple of days over the next week or so until I get a good number of participants, just to warn you. I'm sorry that I have to spam your flist with this over the next few weeks, but I'm really desperate, and it's imperative that I get a lot of participants.
Quick update: I went home from last Wednesday to Sunday over Fall Break, and it was great. I was able to wear a t-shirt outside and not even remotely freeze to death! And it was really nice being able to relax for once. I saw An Education with my parents on Saturday which was really good; I definitely recommend it. The lead actress is Sally Sparrow from the "Blink" episode of Doctor Who! And the screenplay was adapted by Nick Hornby, who's a great writer. So I definitely suggest seeing it. And now I'm back at school and I'm past the halfway point of the semester which is partially nice and partially just entirely stressful since I'm at the really tough part of my research project now. Hope everything's going well for everyone else!
