[car-pga] Middle TN State University's "Gaming Survey for Psychological Research"

[Quilt City Ogres]

Has anyone else came across the following: http://sites.google.com/site/drurygamingsurvey/

An excerpt: "ou are invited to participate in a research study
conducted by Michelle Drury from Middle Tennessee State University,
Department of Psychology. If you decide to participate, you will be
asked to fill out a survey. Your participation will help us to
further understand how gaming and social development interact."


Anyone know anything about this? I've emailed Mr. Drury and requested
to be notified of any releases made as a result of the survey, but
have not received any response.

There's a good chance that should be "Ms. Drury" rather than "Mr.
Drury" unless he is from Italy.

You are correct. Ms. Drury did reply to me, and here is what she had
to say about her goals:

"My goal is to show that non-computer/non-console gaming (i.e., RPGs,
tabletop games, CCGs, etc.) is beneficial to social development. Both
organizations sound amazing and just what I need. I have two versions
of the survey: for computer/console gamers, and for non-computer/non-
console gamers. Obviously people do both, so I ask that people fill
out the form based on what they predominantly engage in."

There are two links, one for each of the above described types of
gaming:

1. Tabletopers: http://sites.google.com/site/drurygamingsurvey/
2. Consolers: http://sites.google.com/site/drurycomputergamingsurvey/

She said she needs about 3,000 at least of each filled out in order to
be able to really have any basis of study, and she is floating around
10 percent. If anyone wants to pitch in. I'll put it on all the OGRE
things later, didn't know if anyone else would be interested in
promoting this. Nice to have some positive research.
