Player Perceptions and Experiences in Online Games

 

Welcome and thank you for your interest in this study.

This survey examines players’ experiences and perceptions of communication in online games.

Participation is voluntary and anonymous. The survey takes approximately 7-10 minutes. Some questions concern hateful or discriminatory communication and may be uncomfortable for some participants. You may stop the survey at any time before submitting your responses.

 

This survey is anonymous.

The record of your survey responses does not contain any identifying information about you, unless a specific survey question explicitly asked for it.

If you used an identifying access code to access this survey, please rest assured that this code will not be stored together with your responses. It is managed in a separate database and will only be updated to indicate whether you did (or did not) complete this survey. There is no way of matching identification access codes with survey responses.

Data collected and anonymity

The questionnaire collects information about experiences and perceptions related to online gaming as well as general gaming and demographic information.

No names, email addresses or other direct identifying information are collected as part of the questionnaire.

Survey responses are collected and analyzed anonymously. Results will only be reported in a form that does not allow individual participants to be identified.
