Hi all,
So, I’m doing a qualification in Computer Game Development, and our current module is on Research Techniques in gaming- specifically, we have to research and write a report on “The Effects of Video Games on Society,” including both secondary sources and ones we make ourselves.
I’ve made a quick survey (just 10 questions) related to that topic, and it would be bloody marvellous if you could take two minutes to complete it, for use in this report of mine.

You’d really be helping me out here, as I have to make my own research and apply it to the report- and I really don’t want to have to bullshit some results to get a passing grade. Cheers!

are you only gonna use a video game forum to gather opinions on video games?

Getting opinions from only one site would not be equally representative of the population/society which could make the results of this survey biased so be careful when reporting and analyzing your results if you haven't posted this survey elsewhere.

For all we know he could be actually doing a study about people willingness to take a survey to benefit someone or just to take a survey; he could also be comparing 2 different types of communities and their willingness to help with taking a survey. We really can't be 100% sure.

This is true, we were not given a lot of details relating to the intent of the survey

There's actually a subreddit very useful for this kind of academic works. Give it a try.

Anti-Social behaviour means lacking consideration for the well-being of others, causing harm to society. When someone is anti-social, it means they do things that break laws or hurt others, not being a shut-in. (Unless that's what you mean by it?) If this is an academic work you might want stick with the clinical (psychology) definition.

Done. Good questions to ask (I think), but you can't have an 'Other (please specify)' option and not expect me to write paragraphs ;)

560 responses already? Thank you all so much, I didn't expect this much data!
I'll post here when I've collected and analysed some of the most interesting stuff, and when I've done the final report (if you're curious, it's for a b-tec level 3 "extended diploma" (which is less fancy than it sounds)), I'll put a link to the file here as well. I'll also try to get a section in the report about complaints about the survey, because a lot of them were quite valid.
Oh, and I'm going to differentiate the results I got from giving this survey to comp tf2 players, and results I'll get by giving it to other groups of people, avid gamers or not- I think it'll be interesting seeing how different respondents from each group agree or disagree.
Thank you all!

This is pretty radical. I think a question along the lines of "What occupational fields are you interested in?" would've been very interesting. A student/person whose goals are along the lines of computer development will have different responses than a person whose goals are along the lines of art or design.
