Furry fandom survey by UC Davis Department of Psychology
GreenReaper
The UC Davis Department of Psychology has posted a survey for members
of the furry fandom 18 or over:
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=881323006290
I strongly encourage everyone who can to take it, as it's rather nice
to be able to point to researched facts when discussing the fandom.
There's nothing like hard data to combat misinformation.
For those wondering if this is some kind of media scam: I emailed two
separate members of faculty, and they've confirmed that this is a
valid survey. The department runs a few of these every semester to
help train its students in practical methods. The researchers *are*
mostly students, but they're not out for a laugh - they're just trying
to do a good job and get a good grade on the course.
