I’m a final year psych student (At National College of Ireland, Dublin) doing my thesis on Emotional Intelligence in Online Gaming, specifically an MMO population. Eve has a certain level of social hierarchy built in, so the question is, are there any connections between different play-styles, behaviours and areas of emotional intelligence.

So that’s what I’m doing, but as for why; I want to see if any real world applicable skills are developed or encouraged in the intense social aspect of gaming. Every day large communities of player work towards long term goals, or smaller bands of players use guerilla tactics to take on larger organisations. Does this affect different areas of EQ?

It should take between 5 - 10 minutes, no personal info is collected (apart from your email in the case of the optional PLEX draw) and all data will be deleted after completion of the study.


I’ll be happy to share the results and any conclusions as soon as I finish, which may be in the distant future when science fiction has become reality and we all fly Rifters to our space jobs. Or a few weeks, I don't know. Thank you for your time!

The PLEX draw will use https://www.random.org/ to pick a random entry and should take place next week after data collection is finished. I’ll email the winner so keep an eye out around this time next week! (Sunday, 6th March)

Anyone interested in MMO Research may also find Nick Yee's work intriguing

"How often do you engage in what you consider "griefing" behavior? "

said never,
believe this to be the case however if you click the second link in my sig you will find a long list of people who may dispute this.

More loaded than asking "What other players consider griefing?"

The perpetrators interpretation of events is what I'm interested in, not the victims.

The Pro Synergy Pilot is not just a fighting man, he is a salvage expert. If it is lost, in the blackness of space, he will find it. If it has been destroyed, he will loot and salvage it. If it is in his way, he will move it. If he is lucky he will be podded 20 jumps from home, for this is the closest he come to being hero.

Due to time constraints, and the fact I have more than enough. I'm closing the form now rather than Sunday. I'll email a winner tomorrow and update with results when I have the time, which unfortunately may be awhile!

Thanks to all involved! <3 Fly safe o7
