Yeti101 Posted July 11, 2013 (edited) Already done - we've got it as an event and it's been widely shared - thanks though. Edit: still need more participants though. Edited July 11, 2013 by Yeti101 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yeti101 Posted July 15, 2013 So, this has been pretty widely shared on Facebook - about 1300 people invited. But we have only got about 140 people (mainly from here and FB) to complete the survey. If anyone has any ideas on where an how to get participants I'd like to hear them! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DELETED ACCOUNT Posted July 15, 2013 (edited) So, this has been pretty widely shared on Facebook - about 1300 people invited. But we have only got about 140 people (mainly from here and FB) to complete the survey. If anyone has any ideas on where an how to get participants I'd like to hear them! If you're having trouble getting new participants and you need very many more than 140 (which I would think is not a bad number for this kind of survey anyhow -- how many are you hoping for?), then perhaps you could offer incentives for participation. However, any changes to the survey might require new approval from an ethics committee or whatnot, and perhaps some thought should go into whether offering incentives could actually skew the results. One interesting tactic I've seen before is to offer that all participants (that actually complete the survey) go into the running to win a prize (à la lottery), which might be a good idea if you can't afford incentives for each individual participant. This might also require a bit of thought as to how to award a prize if you intend to keep the survey completely anonymous, though. Best of luck!

Yeti101 Posted July 15, 2013 Thanks Antoncan. Unfortunately many more participants are needed - power analysis and all that (I don't really understand stats, good thing I've stuck to philosophy ) A bit late now to do incentives, mainly for the reasons you outline. Thanks anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeti101 Posted July 23, 2013 Bump (again, sorry). Only 100 people to go! If you have not done the survey http://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=35993&p=429217 please take the time to do so. That said, I am pretty sure almost all regular members here have contributed already. Again, thank-you all so much for your help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeti101 Posted August 12, 2013 The researcher got to her target so the survey is now closed. Again, thanks so much to those who did the survey and especially those who helped promote it. It means a lot that people here have helped out. More information about the research and it's aims will be posted in the next week or so (once the initial stats are done), though obviously now you can stop worrying about spoilers. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
