Hi, NYC PSPers:
Thank you for taking time to visit this survey.
I am a student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and I am working on a term project about online communities. With this short list of questions, I am trying to gain some understanding about the new communities that are being built around playing Sony PSP. And your input is greatly appreciated in helping me getting closer to this understanding.
I am interested in talking to you about your involvement with/in NYC PSP meetups. In this survey, I listed 52 questions about your involvment, experience and feeling about the PSP meetup events. It will take approximately 5-10 minutes to complete the questionnaire.
This would be completely voluntary and you could stop answering questions at any time for any reason, or not answer anything you don¡¯t want to. Your survey responses will be stricly confidential and data from this research will be reported only in the aggregate. Your information will be coded and will remain confidential.
If you have any questions or complaints about my project, you can contact the professor who is directing my project:
Dmitri Williams, Assistant Professor, Department of Speech Communication, [email protected]; (217) 333-3617. You may also contact the University¡¯s Institutional Review Board at [email protected]; (217) 333-2670.
You can also contact me ([email protected]) with any questions, comments, or to see my final paper.
Thank you again for your time and support. I hope you enjoy the questions. Please start with the survey now by clicking on the Continue button below.
