#Survey Research

[sprinklecipher]

Hi there! I’m interested in how the meaning of "potato bug" varies by region, so I'm running a very short (~1 minute), anonymous survey to find out!

---SURVEY LINK---

You can complete the survey even if you've never heard of "potato bugs" before (but please indicate as much when prompted). Also, please be aware that the survey includes several photos of insects, so I'd advise against taking it if you're squeamish about bugs

Thanks and have a great day! :)

Hi guys,

My name is Claudia and I am doing a MA in Korean Studies at SOAS University of London, UK. I'm currently working on my dissertation and I'm basing it on Korean dramas and their subtitles - specifically how subtitles may influence people's opinions about Korean culture and language.

I finally finished organising the main survey I was preparing, which I finally launched yesterday. This survey is the key to my research so it's quite important to me!

To explain it quickly:

> It will take roughly 15 minutes to complete as there are quite a few questions and clips to watch.

> The survey is anonymous but I do collect emails just by default (Don't worry, they're not to be disclosed to anyone. It's just to keep track of numbers and not to have people repeating the survey)

> I have used short clips from the following dramas: The Glory, All of Us Are Dead, Extraordinary Attorney Woo and Squid Games. However no spoilers to the plot have been used - all the clips are a few seconds long and only include idioms, expressions and cultural elements so no spoilers intended nor shown.

> In the last section you'll be asked to watch said clips and reply to the questions related to them but again NO SPOILERS to the plots.

I've received permission to post the link to the survey so here it is: https://docs.google.com/.../1FAIpQLSfFE8rVQ45bDb.../viewform

I'd greatly appreciate it if you could do the survey - but also understand if you're unable to do it for whatever reason!

Thanks so much

Hey! New poll/survey!

There has been major problems with the newest special (splattercolor screen) which has given many people who suffer from sensory issues problems. If you’re on r/splatoon you’ve probably seen it. Or if you just visit the plaza. Squid school actually has a video on this

So here’s the survey

Semi-important survey for school

Hey tumblr, I need to collect data for an assessment task in my geography class, and I would appreciate if you take a few minutes to complete this short survey! It's just some questions about food you grow at home and opinions about certain ingredients :)

Note: please ignore any weird sound effects or background music, my classmates likely added those as jokes

Xenogender Usage Survey! [Closed]

I’m kicking this blog off with the topic that finally pushed me into making it, a survey about xenogenders!

This (fully anonymous) survey aims to find what (if any) xenogenders are the most common to identify as, the overlap of xenogenders and neopronouns, and the potential intersection of neurodivergence and xenogenders.

As long as you identify as/with at least one (1) xenogender in any capacity, either solely or in addition to non-xenogender identities, you may participate in the survey!

Please take a moment to consider reblogging this even if you aren’t taking the survey, in order to increase our sample size! ETA: Survey will be ending on July 12th, 2023.

Your Guide to Success in Quantitative Research: 8 Practical Tips

Quantitative research plays a crucial role in fields like social sciences, business, healthcare, and education. It provides numerical data that can be analyzed statistically to identify patterns, relationships, and trends. However, excelling in quantitative research requires more than just crunching numbers.

1. Start with a Clear Research Question

The foundation of any successful research is a well-defined research question. This question guides the entire study, determining your methodology, data collection, and analysis. Ensure that your research question is specific, measurable, and aligned with the purpose of your study.

For example, instead of asking, "How do students perform in school?" a clearer question might be, "What is the relationship between study hours and academic performance in high school students?"

Tip: Before starting, spend time refining your question. This will save you time and effort during the research process.

2. Choose the Right Research Design

Quantitative research can take many forms, including experiments, surveys, and observational studies. Choosing the right design depends on your research objectives and the type of data you need. Are you testing a hypothesis?

Tip: Match your research design with your objectives to ensure you’re collecting the right kind of data.

3. Use Valid and Reliable Instruments

The tools you use to gather data—whether they’re questionnaires, tests, or measuring devices—must be both valid (measuring what you intend to measure) and reliable (producing consistent results over time).

Tip: If you’re developing your own instrument, pilot it first with a small group to check its validity and reliability. If using an existing tool, review past studies to confirm it works well for your research population.

4. Select an Appropriate Sample Size

A common mistake in quantitative research is working with a sample size that’s too small, which can lead to unreliable or inconclusive results. On the other hand, excessively large samples can waste resources. To avoid these pitfalls, conduct a power analysis to determine the optimal sample size for your study.

Tip: Use tools like G*Power to calculate the right sample size based on your research goals and the expected effect size. This ensures your findings are statistically significant and applicable to a larger population.

5. Ensure Random Sampling for Representativeness

Your findings will only be meaningful if your sample represents the broader population you’re studying. Random sampling ensures that every individual in the population has an equal chance of being selected, reducing bias and increasing the generalizability of your results.

Tip: Use random sampling methods (e.g., simple random sampling, stratified random sampling) to ensure your data is as representative as possible.

6. Minimize Bias in Data Collection

Bias can creep into any research process, affecting the accuracy and fairness of your results. To reduce bias, carefully design your data collection process. For example, avoid leading questions in surveys and standardize how data is collected across all participants to prevent interviewer or observer bias.

Tip: Blind or double-blind studies can help minimize bias, especially in experiments where participants or researchers might be influenced by expectations.

7. Analyze Data Properly with the Right Statistical Tools

Once you’ve collected your data, the next step is analysis. Choosing the right statistical tests is essential to interpret your findings correctly. Descriptive statistics (like means and frequencies) give a broad overview, while inferential statistics (like t-tests, chi-squares, or regression analyses) help determine whether your findings are statistically significant.

Tip: If you’re unsure which test to use, consult a statistician or use resources like statistical decision trees to guide your choice based on your data type and research questions.

8. Interpret Results with Context and Caution

After analyzing your data, it’s tempting to jump to conclusions. However, quantitative research is not just about the numbers; it’s about what those numbers mean in context. Always interpret your results in relation to your research question and the existing body of knowledge.

Be cautious when generalizing your findings, especially if your sample size is small or non-representative. Additionally, consider the limitations of your study—were there any confounding variables, measurement errors, or external factors that might have influenced your results?

Tip: Be transparent about the limitations of your study. Acknowledging them strengthens the credibility of your research.

Conclusion

Mastering quantitative research requires attention to detail, a solid understanding of statistical methods, and a commitment to rigor throughout the process. By following these 8 practical tips—starting with a clear question, choosing the right design, using valid instruments, selecting the appropriate sample, minimizing bias, analyzing correctly, and interpreting results carefully—you’ll be well on your way to conducting successful and impactful quantitative research.

My first quiz/survey thing? About actors who can play some good submissive characters...I know weird headline

Because maybe or maybe not I'm in a big spiral of whimpering, softy, needy, subby characters (and yes the actors are all male) and I know some of my followers are too in this sweet spiral. I mean they are just so cute. So here are three of my favourite and I'm curious about the results of who you like the most on this topic

ps : I know that I haven't write for Kyle or Josh (and I dont't count the PeetaxCalo One-shot because it's not an x reader story) but there will be some One-shots some day or in a few days or weeks for the characters of them.

Survey About the Sense of Community on Tumblr

Hi! This is a survey for a university assignment. It asks questions about tumblr and the sense of community on tumblr. Please consider filling it out, it should only take about 5-10 minutes to complete and it would really help out with the research being done for this project.

Reblogs to spread the survey to more people are encouraged and appreciated!

[scienceysideblog]

Hi, I don't know if this will actually find anyone who is interested but I'm thinking of running a questionnaire about autistic burnout to try and gather some data and then make a report of any findings.

I had my first autistic burnout just over a year ago now, it was really scary and I looked to studies and research for support but it was extremely lacking. I feel like every bit of data counts to raise awareness around autistic burnout and could help people so if you have experienced burnout and you'd be interested in taking part please message me or reblog this.

The survey is anonymous, you can only take part if you are over 16. I do not have any high level qualifications because I am still studying but as far as I know that doesn't affect whether I'm allowed to conduct research.

[the-xenogender-survey]

Xenogender Usage Survey Results

At long last, the results of the Xeno survey have been published! Out of about 160 entries, about 120 were usable! Some of these results will be varying as certain questions were optional.

Results under the cut, because this is a long post and includes graphics. Enjoy!

Q1. Do you have a main/primary gender identity?

Q2. What is your main/primary gender identity (if yes)?

The top 5 most common 'main/primary' gender identities of respondents to this question were as follows: 5. Trans Man [4] 4. Genderfluid [4] 3. Agender [4] 2. Genderqueer [6] 1. Nonbinary [7]

See the full list of all 'main/primary' gender identities HERE.

Q3. What Xenogenders do you identify with/as?

As this was the BIG ONE, I encouraged folks to give their whole lists, no matter how long they may have been. The top 11 most common xenogender identities of respondents to this question were as follows:

11. Staticgender [x5] 10. Demongender [x5] 9. Chaosgender [x5] 8. Bungender [x5] 7. Xenogender (Standalone) [x6] 6. Glitchgender [x6] 5. Stargender [x7] 4. Pupgender [x7] 3. Autigender [x8] 2. Fictogender [x14] 1. Catgender [x19]

See the full list of all Xenogenders HERE. There are 1,346 genders on this list.

These results were particularly interesting to me, because despite the high amount of respondents, only 2 xenogenders went over 10 responses at all despite the massive overall number. Xenogenders are a very vast 'type' of gender with usually very personalized meanings.

Q4. Do you identify with any non-xenogender identities in addition to the xenogender identities you have?

Q5. What non-xenogender identities do you have (if yes)?

The top 11 most common non-xenogender identities of respondents to this question were as follows:

11. Gendervoid [6] 10. Demigirl [6] 9. Male [7] 8. Boyflux [7] 7. Bigender [7] 6. Transgender [11] 5. Genderqueer [13] 4. Genderfluid [15] 3. Agender [21] 2. Transmasc [25] 1. Nonbinary [33]

See the full list of non-xenogenders HERE. I did include neogenders and "cusp" genders in these results. Maybe I'll do a survey on neogenders in the future...

Q6. When talking about your gender(s) ONLINE, do you put more emphasis on your xenogender or non-xenogender identities?

Q7. When talking about your gender(s) OFFLINE/IRL, do you put more emphasis on your xenogender or non-xenogender identities?

Q8. When thinking about your gender(s) PRIVATELY/PERSONALLY, do you put more emphasis on your xenogender or non-xenogender identities?

The extreme variance in these charts is really interesting as well. I want to make this survey an annual thing, I'm curious to know if this will change at all over the years.

Q9. Do you use neopronouns? For the purposes of this survey, 'neopronouns' was defined as any pronoun that was not he/him, she/her, they/them, or a combo of them such as she/they.

Q10. What type of neopronouns do you use (if yes)?

Q11. Do you prefer if people refer to you with your neopronouns or your non-neopronoun pronouns?

Q12. Do you have any additional comments about your xenogenders or neopronouns?

These will be held to the end of the survey as it is the longest section. Q13. Are you Neurodivergent?

Q13. Do you feel as if your neurodivergence has an impact on your xenogender(s)?

Q14. What types of neurodivergency do you have?

The top 5 most common neurodivergencies of respondents to this question were as follows:

5. C-PTSD [39] 4. ADHD [58] 3. Depression [63] 2. Anxiety [66] 1. Autism [93]

See the full list of neurodivergencies HERE.

I do think these results support my hypothesis that there is a strong intersection of neurodivergency, as well as specifically with autism.

That is the end of the results section! Below are participant comments. I removed comments that clarified on their personal identities or comments directed specifically to me. I found a lot of these very insightful, so even though this section is long, I do recommend reading through them. Thank you to everyone who participated!

COMMENTS ABOUT XENOGENDERS:

>> I believe that there is a huge problem in Xenos where the coiners end up deleting their blogs or presence online so it makes it impossible almost to trace back the gender, as well as there not being a well documented enough place for people to access info on Xenos. The best I found that is specifically only for Xenos is a Wikidot but it doesn't have a lot in terms of some genders imo. There's a weird sort of sense where genders and pronouns become their own lost media, and it's sad. I wish we had a way to properly catalog them as best we could but it's nigh impossible as MOGAI and Xenos were intended to be made where anything could be a Xeno (which is good!) but in the wake, double-coining happens and we lose the ones we did coin in the end. Sorry to ramble oops

>>I think the fact that im otherkin influences my gender identity in major wayss

>>I love my xenos and my genders and i think id like to talk more about it irl.

>>i identify as [gender, removed for privacy] privately and do not share it anywhere outside of my close group of friends. i also only identify with it with my own definition, as every one i've seen online includes concepts (aligning with masculinity/femininity, including european concepts such as royalty, etc) that i either feel uncomfortable with or feel defeat the entire purpose of a xenogender to begin with.

>>We identify the body as sushigender for this reason: Sushi comes in many different styles and fillings, but it's still sushi. Therefore, we can present however we want and it's still us. (It's basically putting a xenogender to describe unlabeled/not caring too much about labels)

>>i wish people (both queer & not) were more accepting that gender expression can be silly and you can have fun with it! sometimes labels are goofy. sometimes pronouns are silly. it doesn't make them any less valid. end the sillyphobia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>i barely attach my xenogenders to my actual gender and its mostly a representation of my entire identity , or some sort of fashion statement or something

>>Most of my xenogenders are private- I do not talk about them other than fairy and livia gender. This is because they are for me and not others, and most people do not need to know about them! :> however, though I will not admit this everywhere, my non-xenogender labels mostly only exist for other people. I am fairygender before I am trans, before I am bigender. I am liviagender before I am trans.

>>Sometimes I like to label, sometimes not, the xenogenders and other genders I identify with are all loose and fluid categories for me.

>>i only use xenogenders and neopronouns with other queer people.

>>i love love love the community this is so cool and i think everyone being able to express themselves is the most important thing in the world

>>I am satisfied with identifying with 'xenogender' as an umbrella term, rather than trying to find and list specific xenogenders I identify with. At least for now. Going to the effort of finding specific xenogenders has not been worth it to me so far.

>>Neurodivergence doesn't intersect with this as much as my alterhumanity does! I am a fairy and a pigeon. Neither has a concept of gender the way humans do. In an ideal world I would not have to fit myself into that system at all! Neurodivergence intersects because it intersects with everything. I am my brain. What it is is what I am. I can't run away from that.

COMMENTS ABOUT NEOPRONOUNS:

>>Most people don't use the neopronouns so it feels wrong to say I prefer them, sense they're never used

>>Honestly I only use my neos with close friends I'm sometimes public abt it but I'm too afraid of backlash sometimes

>>i sort of prefer folks to use my neopronouns purely as a result of most people NOT using them. if people actually used them equally, i would not feel that need to even things out.

>>We do notice people only using the first pronouns you list and ignoring the others (using exclusively she/her when the pronouns are she/they/xe/gem)

>>No one uses them and it makes me really dysphoria but I feel I can't enforce it because there so weird

COMMENTS ABOUT THE INTERSECTION OF NEURODIVERGENCY AND XENOGENDERS:

>>I do genuinely believe a lot of the xenogenders I have are related very specifically to my autism and how I perceive things around me, especially the sound / music related ones.

>>A lot of my overlap comes from perceiving the world around me differently, including my genders and the fluidity of my identity. I feel closer to sounds, concepts, objects, feelings, etc., than I do "typical" and "traditional" gender identities. I understand things more closely and easily in abstracts and metaphors when it comes to my own feelings, so things like "boy" and "girl" don't make much sense to me as a personal experience.

>>Autism affects that indirectly by being a major reason for my alterhumanity

>>My autism effects how I identify myself more than anything most of my xenogenders have to do with my special interests or stuff I feel like due to my autism

>>i have more genders than "usual" because of my multiplicity

>>The intersection most prominently comes from the autism. Being autistic has heavily impacted how I view my role in society and is influenced by a lot of that + my interests

>>autism is the Big one, because it makes me see and literally feel my gender differently to an allistic person. and OSDD-1b affects it only because it's a weird experience being transfem in an afab body, so my gender experience is quite different to singlets who are transfem

>>i think i likely would still experience xenogenders if i was neurotypical, but the fact that i am neurodivergent makes me experience them much more intensely

>>My dissociative disorder (OSDD) and autism majorly effect the way I view gender. It's almost entirely unimportant to me and I see it as more of a form of expression than anything and don't understand why so much stock is put into gender.

>>considering how alienated and disconnected i am from my identity and everyone else, i feel that using xenogenders that feel unclear or 'strange' gives me a sense of identity. i enjoy coming off as strange or offputting to others and like using queerness and nonconformity to express that.

>>my nonhumanity and my aroaceness are a lot more relevant to my gender than my neurodivergencies are.

>>I am not sure if my neurodivergence affects my xenogenders or not, but I know that it affects my overall gender identity, and that is why I label myself as interestfluid.

>>my concept of gender is just weird

>>It’s definitely interesting how a neurodivergency can allow someone to view gender in so many different ways. As an Autistic person, I genuinely do not understand the binary and construct that society has laid out. This in turn affects how I try to conceptualize something that I honestly don’t think *can* be conceptualized. It’s so unique to each person

>>Our autism causes us to see gender from a different perspective so to say. And being a system, other alters also have other perspectives and preferences and identities
