Hey there!

We are two psychology students at the University of Iceland. We were lucky enough to get CCP to allow us to do a little experiment concerning the 'self' within and outside the game. We would be seriously psyched if you would help us by completing the following survey. Your participation would be a valuable contribution to research into MMORPGs and may impact further development of EVE Online. Detailed instructions will be provided if you proceed. The survey should take approximately 20 minutes to complete. The survey is of course anonymous and no personal information can be linked to your responses.

Before I do this cuz I to took psych in uni and this is a great thing and something Ive advocated with CCP employees before Id like an official dev or GM response that this is in fact legit. I know its a horrid thing to require but I must due to all things Eve in me. Twisted

Have you heard anything I've said?

You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?

That's right.

It's about time the psychologists turned up here.

Done. Given the way you've split it up I think it's going to make for some interesting analysis at the end. (Providing you trust this community to remain reasonably honest which ... you know Lol)

Will you mind publishing results or a brief overview when everything is completed for those of us curious about this?

Wait what? I bump into them analysing everyone in just about every second thread. They're right up there with the vast profusion of lawyers, law enforcement officers, statisticians and software developers that inhabit these forums from their armchairs.

Yes PLEASE publish data as thatd be a great read for me. DO EEET!!



As for the distribution of what sort of professionals play Eve thatd be a very interesting study/questionnaire and Id LOVE to see that. Though again honesty from the player base would be....iffy at best. lol

Have you been in touch with the woman from Your Uni who's doing research on virtual-vs-real personas, who had a stand (and a few sessions) at fanfest?

You lost me at question 1. What is your gender.

Did you mean my gender, or my toons gender? Cus' there both the same.

Holy freaking cow that was a long survey.

But I see that someone put a bit of work into it and so I show my appreciation for that my finishing it.

Almost got through a pint of beer while doing it - hope it is accurate.

I still want ink blots.

Its so nice to see the kids doing sociopath research nowdays. Usually after I complete a survey I mysteriously get an eve mail telling me about a great offer for ISK. Are you selling Nixs for video cards maybe?

Heres a link to some wow research. Save yourself some work and gank a few paragraphs.

Geez. No live link on the page. I can replicate a thumb-sucking, developmentally arrested video gamer as good as anyone!

i just made it through to part 2, questions about my ingame character

i neither roleplay something different than myself nor identify myself with the ingame character at all, i much more enjoy socialising with the guys (no girls in eve :( ) behind the character

so i answered all questions with 3, he/she wouldnt do anything at all, its simply me (with much less hair)
