Still going through the data but some first really interesting findings have emerged. So, there were a total of 319 people who completed the survey and passed the attention checks. Average age of 39, mostly male. All recruited via various TTRPG forums like this. To the question: "Imagine your...

Thank you for your help!

Thank you for your help! Yup, given the number of comments I've had about that next time I will be sure to change that!

Will be closing this end Sunday 2nd November then analysing. Thank you all for your help! Will summarise results back here when known.

Yeah, 20 or more is good enough for this study to differentiate early gamers from newbies. Experiment 2 might look at those who started before 1985 and those after 2015...

Thanks for your help! That's pretty standard, there are often different ways of asking broadly similar questions, usually to get a more rounded view.

I think it's actually changed since about a year ago... :ROFLMAO: . I suppose the clearest way would be to think of GCSEs as 14-16 years old, A-Levels and ASS-Levels as16-18, then the rest more or less like north America (I think)...

Aye, it's based on UK education, which doesn't resemble French education, which doesn't resemble US education, which doesn't resemble South Korean education... :LOL:. It's a global survey. So I just stayed with my home system. Thanks for your help! And the year's experience thing we treat as 20...

The survey is going out on multiple platforms so we have to make the fact that the survey itself is in (a lot of) English clear, so as not to waste participants' time. However, there's no distinction here between native- and non-native speakers - all welcome.

Aye, one of the good things here is we get to see age-related differences (also collecting data from young adults elsewhere).

Thank you for your help!

Should add that I could chat all day about why this or anything else is in the study but dare not do so for prejudicing results, hence not expanding right now. When it's all done I'll share the outcomes and rationales here. Hope that's okay.

Intentional, yes, though it's only one part of the study. There's a line in the information sheet before consent: "We will also collect data on how you relate to other people (perspective taking), and on traits related to autism."

I'm going to keep this survey live until mid-December. Any more help appreciated!

Very true (y). What works for me here is I can learn about patterns in different types of experienced RPG-ers, so this is still very useful even if the length of experience factor itself is hard to interpret (given the massive experience here). So still very grateful for every response :), and...

Thank you!

Next time maybe I need a bigger slide :ROFLMAO:

Thank you!

Thanks Clint :).

Thank you for your help! No problem. I'll post a summary of outcomes back here. Will probably take a few months.
