You can send it to me as well.

But be sure to send it to Cocoanut Koala, rather than the name on this post, as I will see it sooner.

Please drop me a note.

Be warned though that I don't consider SL as my primary environment. ;)

Leanne, I noticed you used a number on mine. Would it be possible for me to have a notecard that I could give to some of my friends to fill out for you, then have them give it to you when they fill it out?

Thanks!

If anyone else wants to pass questionnaire's onto friends, feel free to do so, I can sort people out with numbers when I receive the replies :) (And I would really appreciate it lol! Still need more participants :D)

Thanks everyone!

Leanne,

Have you discussed with your academic advisor the selection method of this work? If participants are self-selecting themselves through this forum, the analysis may get dinged by critics suggesting that forum participants who volunteer are not a representative sample of SLers at large. OTOH, if you state that at the outset, it may fly?

Hiya

I have discussed this with my supervisor :) It is a problem with most research the selection method of participants, but due to the large number of responses I need, and various other factors to do with my design, it is hard to get participants any other way. As long as I discuss the problems (and positives!) of my selection method within my research, it is okay.

But you are right, I will have to point out that my sample is not necessarily a representation of SL members as a whole.

Drop a card on me. I'll fill it out and try to distribute a few as well.

Perhaps if you get enough submissions from inworld sources, the result won't be weighted by the forum community.
