Guild Wars 2

Hello Everyone,

My name is Kathleen and I am a Psychology undergraduate in the University of Buckingham. I am looking for participants, preferably male (I already have a lot more female participants than males), to take part in my study. The study is about video games and personality.

Here is the link to my survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/5R2B5BL

Thank you for your time!

Hey Xaphiera, I filled out your questionnaire.
It’s a really interesting topic by the way and I’m forward to seeing what you come up with.
It seems like you’ve already come up with a statistic as more you have more female participants than male.

I filled out this as well and found it interesting. Good luck with your project.

I’ve completed your survey, seems interesting you should post again when you complete the project.

Just a heads up your full name is displaying at the top of the survey I think you already know though.

It’s very interesting, but I don’t think this data will be of much use to you. Everyone is different. Some people will behave like that, others don't. For myself, I found anything being matched up to be coincidental. I have many characters, each with their own personality, hopes and goals. They can be a form of escape, or inclusion with friends, depending on the situation.

Still, I’d love to see the results posted when and if at all possible!

Thanks everyone! I can check the participants without affecting the new data, and it just refreshes when new completions are made. I just want to have an equal participant distribution so I check the gender distribution regularly :P

Thanks for your time everyone! I will be posting my report as soon as it is ready.

Interesting survey. I completed it just now.

Interesting survey, especially the literature that inspired you to do it. I will definitely read through it.

I took part in the survey even though I’m not male (sorry for that, but I was curious about its content).

Done :]

Interesting subject, curious about your results! Will mail you!

Done I am looking forward to the results

The switch up of ideal/virtual/actual threw me for a few questions on the second page. If someone isn’t paying very close attention, it’d be easy to just go through and answer as if they are in the same order on each page.

Interesting survey. I definitely play my ideal self in games.

Done! It was fun to think about it that way, really interesting! Thank you, and good luck!

Completed. I hope the results will provide useful information.

done! interesting study. But i don’t know if this forum will be of much help to you. Most of the people playing this game don’t role play at all.

And, for myself, I can say I just write the story of my character (specially the personality and motivation) and then stick to it when playing. Sometimes I deviate just for the sake of being able to actually play with someone else, but I don’t think it works as a step up to our ideal selves.

Both me and my virtual character were looking at my ideal self like. “Yo, whatcha doin all the way over there?”

A psychology degree is very useful.

I also filled in this survey, hope it helps you out.

Since I didn’t have the time to comment in detail on the survey yesterday, I would like to add some thoughts on it now. Something that came to my mind while filling out the questionnaire and what I think should be taken into consideration.
