[Apologies for cross-posting, but I was told it was best to put this announcement in a few different forums!]
I’m a gamer and media professor writing a book on video games from a Christian perspective. One of my chapters is on video games and community, and to write it, I need your help!
I’ve set up a survey at http://app.fluidsurveys.com/surveys/kevinschut/games-community-christians/. It takes about 10 to 20 minutes to complete, and it’s all about how Christians play video games with other people and the kind of gaming communities they’re a part of. If you choose to participate, you may take the survey anonymously, and even if you choose to leave some identification, your real identity will remain completely confidential when I publish.
As an extra incentive, I’m offering all participants the chance to win a $50 gift certificate for Game Stop.
I really want to give Christian gamers a chance to speak for themselves about their gaming. This research is legit and above-board, the ethics of the project have been reviewed by the Research Ethics Board at my university (http://www.twu.ca), and as you can see from the questions, there’s nothing secret or weird going on here. However, if you’re not sure, you can check out my profile at (http://www.twu.ca/directory/faculty/kevin-schut.html) and you are welcome to send me emails about the project at ChristianGameCommunity@gmail.com (a temporary email that I’ll close when the project is over).
I need responses completed by Friday, November 4, although I may take a few late submissions. PLEASE HELP ME OUT AND CIRCULATE THIS ANNOUNCEMENT TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN THINK OF!
Thanks so much for your time!
