Hi my name is Chris Groom and I am a student at Lancaster University on the Doctorate in Clinical Psychology course (email c.groom@lancs.ac.uk). I am doing a study into the effects of online game playing on lifestyle factors and general health in men aged 18-40, which involves filling in some questionnaires. All participation is voluntary and participants can withdraw from the study at any time. If you are a man in that age group who plays MMORPG’s regularly, and this sounds interesting please go to the following website for more details.

You're probably going to want to talk to Robert Khoo before you poll the forums for data. It's kinda frowned down on.
Here's his e-mail address. rkhoo@penny-arcade.com
also towards the end of the study I got the distinct impression that you seem to think gamers want to kill themselves

I remember it being very poorly worded, if not down right biased, too.
Get the PAX 2008 Countdown widget and while away your sad, pathetic life watching it tick down the hours to PAX '08!

no its genuine and I can provide more info if you would like it
maybe similar imstruments were used but this is an original study and I cam give youy more info if you would like it
hi most of the the questions come in as standarised "instruments" I can't play around woth the ansers as it affects their integrity
as to me thinking that gamers wanting to kill themselves - not at all
alright let me give you an example of a question that needs to to be rethought. i don't recall the exact questions or the exacts answers but i can appoximate them enough to make my point.
do you or have you taken medication for such and such condition
yes/no
if yes when did you start taking this medication?
10-20
20-30
30-40
40-50
are you taking this medication now?
yes/no
if not when did you stop?
10-20
20-30
30-40
40-50
each of these last three questions required me to answer them regardles of how i answered the yes/no qustions.
if i answered no to the first question i still had to answer the second question. if your not going to program the survey to ignore such questions when applicable then you need to include the answer not applicable to the end of those questions. not doing so affects the integrity of the entire survey.
ass
{Fondly remembers the PAXTrain}
