#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! :)

HAPPY DRAGON AGE DAY

Conniving Crows, Wicked Watchers, Lustful Lords, Vivacious Veil Jumpers, Wild Wardens, and Shrewd Shadow Dragons!

Me: THANK YOU SO MUCH EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU FOR FILLING OUT MY SURVEY! You: Lady, what are you talking about? Me: A couple weeks ago you filled out my survey! You: Oh yeah, whatever happened with that?

Well, let me tell you, good internet people!

Dragon Age: The Veilguard in “One Word”:

If I had a nickel for every "Fun, but..." or "Pretty, but..." responses, I would have a lot of nickels. "Fun but not Dragon Age" was my personal favorite.

If you don't see your verbatim response here, that's because there was 650 of you. And I had to take some liberties with verbiage here.

What were your Overall Impressions of Dragon Age: The Veilguard?

What did you like the MOST about Veilguard?

What did you HATE about Veilguard?

Ho, nelly, you guys.

186 (>28%!) of you used the “Other” box to expand on your ideas (which is part of why this graph is so uhgly) but I appreciate every single one of you sharing your thoughts with me.

19 (2.9%) of you said something pertaining to “The Writing” even though that wasn’t an option

112 (17%!) of you mentioned (at least one of) the words: shallow, pale, child-locked, darkness, nuance, choice, conflict, empty, sanitized, or (my personal favourite) toothless.  

Some “Hated” Honorable Mentions:

“Neve’s Hat”

Fuck off her fascinator is fascinating

“Not Being able to Swim”

I read it before and I still laughed; this one is the real MVP

The Death of Varric

☹

The one person who said “Harding”

I will fight you

The TWO People who said “Too many puzzles”

Bitch is this Taash? How did you get access to this???

**Shout out to the people who pointed out I spelled DIALOGE wrong, yeah I know sorry I’m an idiot

If Veilguard were to have a DLC, which Companion Characters would you want to see return the most?

I find it SO interesting that I asked for 5, and there were 5 VERY CLEAR winners...

(Cole, Dorian, Fenris, Merrill, Zevran, by a veritable landslide; there’s over 100 votes between the lowest – Merrill (284), and the next highest – Cassandra (177))  

To those of you who can’t read: the HoF, Hawke, and the Inquisitor are NOT Companion Characters.

Also, to the one person who responded: “No one deserves to be dragged through that” I see you.

*I did not have time to collate the data supplied in “Other” but I think there’s a pretty obvious winner here

And now, if a “Keep” DLC were to be made, which choices do YOU think are the most important to have?

Before we jump into that, I would just like to say how little these answers differ; despite my open ended question a LOT of people wrote the same things.

Some of you, bless your little hearts, explained your choices like im a dumb bitch who hasn’t been living in the wiki and played each game 2/3/5 times. Like I would be doing this and not know what Orzammar or the Architect is.  Bless your little worm spirits you’re so adorable.

Every person who said “Inquisitors Class” followed it up with (weird I know sorry uwu im so weird im sorry) like… guys. You know…. You are ALLOWED to have OPINIONS. And you’re not weird there was like 6 of you. You're not alone.

To the EVERYTHING/ALL OF IT people; I see you.

Four people were brave enough to admit they couldn’t remember anything, and 55 people didn’t write ANYTHING.

Behold, Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat:

Circle Fate: Fate of the Chantry Circles after DAI

DAI Wardens: Wardens exiled/accepted in DAI

Divine: Who you chose for the Divine (DAI)

Fade Fate: The Fate of the person you left in the fade in DAI

Mage/Templar: The outcome of the Mage/Templar conflict (not differentiated between Inquisition/2)

Southern Rulers: All three Rulers of Southern Thedas; Ferelden, Orlais, & Orzammar

The Well: Who Drank Mythal's Bathwater (dont kink shame me)

Any answer with less than 5 responses got taken out for brevity and are listed below:

(2) Nothing Cuz they destroyed the South, (1) ANYTHING!!!!!, (1) fuck you (bioware) for disregarding the entire lore of the first few games, (1) I think the most interesting things are the smaller stuff you don't expect to carry over.

(2) Andraste's Urn, (2) Avernus (research), (1) Awakening companions fates, (2) Calpernia's Fate, (3) Cass/Tranquility, (2) Clan Lavellan Status, (1) Cullen/Lyrium, (2) DA:O Dalish Clan, (1) DA2 Isabela, (2) DA2 Qunari Plot outcome, (1) Dagna (Magic School), (1) Danarius, (1) Disband/Keep Inquisition, (2) Faded for Her Result, (3) Hawke Siblings Fate, (2) Inquisition disbanded actual consequences, (1) Inquisition Support of Nevarra or Tevintrer (josephine war table quest), (4) Inquisitors Class, (1) Iron Bull, (1) Isabela, (1) Paragon of her Kind (Golems), (1) Prisoner at Ostagar, (1) Rule of 3, (1) Save/Stop Solas, (1) Sha-Brytol dwarves, (1) Shale, (4) Solas/Inky Approval, (1) Solassan Implications, (1) Solavellan Vallaslin, (1) Soldier's Peak, (2) Sten, (2) Zevran/Darker Crows.

To the one person, who commented: “I think the most interesting things are the smaller stuff you don't expect to carry over.” I see you. And I am percolating.

If the Devs/Anyone at BioWare happens to see this, the last question I asked was this:

If you could ask the Devs/Writers of Veliguard one thing, what would it be?

A lot of responses are focused on the lore. More are questioning the narrative & lore decisions & implications of VG. Some are begging for DLC. Some are flat out rude. One is a proposition. But there are a fair amount of people who want to ask you;

‘hope you're okay’

‘How are you holding up?’

‘I hope despite everything you know that your creation is loved and adored.’

‘THANK YOU!!!’

Intelligent fans know the development Hell VG went through to be born. They know corporate culture. They understand there's often more than meets the eye. Fans of Dragon Age know what heavenly good delicious golden content BioWare can make. And they're hungry for it. Take some well deserved rest, and then come back to the table with us, because we cannot wait for more.

A Sappy Little Note:

I have Zero online presence and really expected to get about 100 responses total, and I got 650 (*mind blown emoji*), I wasn’t even able to share it to reddit main (bc of the fvbjvks mods). Most of these responses are from YOU GUYS on good ol’ tumblr.com and Im so weepy about how you all got involved and shared your thoughts with me Thank You SO MUCH.

For those of you who messaged me about the DLC, you are not forgotten. Believe it or not, I have a plan. Watch your inboxes over the next couple days, because I’m going to be prickling your creative brains over the Holidays.

Once more, Thank You All, so so so much for participating. Bare your blade, remain vigilant, and keep an Eye out for The Agents.

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

[the-xenogender-survey]

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.
