Questions about Shopping on SL

Hi All Residents,

I am doing a research about Virtual Shopping Behavior for my graduate study at National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan.

I need respondents for my survey, please help me by click http://tinyurl.com/cz4meh.

The survey is about the customer behavior in buying either virtual or real goods through SL. It takes 5-10 minutes to answer all the questions.

All the data will be treated anonymous and confidentially for the purpose of this study only.

Feel free to contact me if you have any question or suggestion related to this questionnaire at [email]erkaburuan@gmail.com[/email].

Thank you so much for you help.

Oh Arke....I feel for you......this crowd has seen so many surveys that you're treading into the territory of wolves here This forum in NO WAY represents the masses that reside in the SL virtual community. If you want an accurate study of ANY kind of behavior with-in SL......you need to get your azz in world and start humping it and talking to people all over the grid......put the link to your survey in the web tab of your profile.....and then go be social. Become a part of it all.

Don't just plunk this link in here, wipe your hands and think you're gonna get anything remotely accurate. You're not. This happens in these forums weekly, if not daily....and it's at the point of being laughable. You gotta do the leg work my friend.....if your study is legit....and you're going to publish something interesting and enlightening......then you need to back it up by putting your own virtual sweat behind it.

I hear that they really like to do surveys like this over at WoW.

I want to get a degree in Shopping, too!

Back when *I* was in school, we only studied BORING stuff like History, Geogruffy, Math, ...

If I knew that you could study SHOPPING on a graduate level I would have waited to be born!

Shopping!!!!


edited to insert exclamation marks

Say what?

What is Geogruffy about?

Reeling and Writhing, of course, to begin with, and then the different branches of Arithmetic --Ambition, Distraction, Uglification , and Derision. Well, there was Mystery, ancient and modern, with Seaography: then Drawling--the Drawling-master was an old conger-eel, that used to come once a week: He taught us Drawling, Stretching, and Fainting in Coils.

Don't forget about Fiscal Education and, hmmm, Band!

Milla,

Thanks for the suggestion....I did that as well...I also go to SL and play around making friends. But, sometime I dont find much because of the time different; I live in Asia and I know that most of the residents are from the west.

Any interesting place that I can visited and have 24 hrs ppl around?

Is that like Squeeking in Thongs?

Sorry I associate surveys with changes forced on us in SL and so I do not wish to take any more surveys.

Oh yep, that's a walk anim used by some of these male avs you see who've gone a bit overboard with the muscle sliders and wear those oily looking skins.

Arke, I'm going to have to put this bluntly. Your survey is very badly written. Not just the poor English; I'm aware that you are not a native English speaker. Some of the errors, like overlapping or incomplete ranges in questions, I would consider poor from a high school student, let alone a graduate student.

Hi Kelly,

You are right, I'm not a Native English Speaker. I know that in some way, it is not fit with the English structure..BUT that's how it is written from the sources I found from English speaking country.

you might e-mail me personally to help me correct the error.

Anyway, thanks for writing...

There's shopping in SL???

Your errors with the English language aren't the biggest problem. In most cases, they don't make the questions too difficult to understand, although to a native speaker they are glaringly incorrect.

The two biggest problems I noticed were:

The question asking how long one had been involved in virtual worlds had incomplete ranges; something like:

0-1 years
1-2 years
3-4 years...

Anyone with 2-3 years of experience wouldn't be able to answer correctly.


Where you asked for age, the ranges overlapped.

20-30 years old
30-40 years old...

So someone 30 years old could have marked either of those categories.

WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! Yet another survey I get to do with completely the wrong information

See, now, that's really not very generous.

Using alts, you could do the survey dozens of times with the same completely wrong information, thereby increasing the reliability of the data.

Jus' tryin' to help.

Alice and the Mock Turtle!

/me fluffles the ferretses' fur in delight at their erudition.

Best way to go from here is to visit my shops, buy all I have for sale, and then take a moment of rest. That must give you a feeling about shopping in SL Plus it will be a great incentive for me to fill out your survey

Yeah, but only for sex

That explains why I've never come across it then.

BOOTS!!!!
this is all
