Face and Politeness

Survey Name


WELCOME AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!


You are invited to participate in our survey about face and politeness, which has altogether 15 questions. It should not take more than 10-15 minutes to complete.
Your participation in this study is completely voluntary, and there are no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ answers. You can start now or read the details below.


Your survey responses will be coded and will remain confidential. If you have questions at any time about the survey or the procedures, you may contact me by email at mikko.setala(at)uta.fi.


I want to stress that I will not be making any value jugdements on Chinese or western politeness, or try to decide which is better. I just want to learn Chinese people’s own view on face and politeness, and not just what the books have say about it. If at any point some example (real or imaginary) pops to your mind, it would be very interesting to hear.


While the questions are in both languages, I prefer answers in Chinese. However, in the case that your system does not allow you to type in Chinese, you can also answer in English. If you don't understand the Chinese question (I'm still a beginner in Chinese) please refer to the English one.


Thank you very much for your time and support. Please start with the survey now by clicking on the Continue button below.
