    Facebook Use and Self-Esteem Questionnaire

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I've done it, but I do hope you're getting a response outside of OCR if you're getting a sample of the FB population - a bunch of people from OCR is hardly a representative sample :P

    Yes, I've shared the questionnaire elsewhere. However, I've known from the beginning that sampling was going to be the biggest limitation of this project and I've noted this in my paper. Reason being is this is a class project and not a full-blown study so I have a lot of restrictions because of that (time, money, no IRB approval, etc.). This project is more about learning how the research process works from brainstorming ideas all the way to discussing the results. Nonetheless, the data collected may lend some support to my hypotheses and if so, my professor has said this would be worth pursuing in grad school as an actual study.

    Brandon, this is the first I'm hearing about the problem you had. I don't think I received your response so feel free to complete the questionnaire again if you would like. Sorry about that.

    Thank you to everyone who has completed the questionnaire. I didn't expect to receive so many responses and I can't thank you all enough!

    Hey all, I have been working on a semester-long research project and am now at the data collection stage. It would help me out immensely if you could go to the link provided and complete the questionnaire. It's about Facebook use and self-esteem and should only take about fifteen minutes to complete. I do ask that respondents be between the ages of 18 and 30. Thanks a ton!

    I graduate in about a month so new music will hopefully be on the way. :)

    Valkyrie Profile is one of the best games I've played in the last decade, but with a PSP port fairly easily available at a lower cost, I'm not sure how you're justifying the cost there.

    If it were a rare game, I could see that, but now its just a rare PS1 game/version. It seems like to me you're just trying to sucker someone in there.

    Gee, thanks for the accusation.

    I know there's a PSP port, but that doesn't change the fact the PS1 version is rare. I've looked around and I've seen it go for anywhere from 50 to 75 to 100 to way higher than that even depending on the quality of the game, casing, instruction manual, etc. Final Fantasy 7 for instance, is easily obtainable through the PSN; the PS1 classic version is also pretty cheap, but some people pay hefty prices for the original PS1 release of the game. (that doesn't have the green logo proclaiming it a classic)

    Ports, roms, etc aside there are collectors who like having physical copies in their hands. It's not that hard of a concept to understand.

    Yes, it's about how collectable it is. (I don't like throwing around the term "rare" for everything that fetches a pretty penny since, for example, Final Fantasy 7 isn't rare; it's simply highly sought after.) I recently sold a sealed copy of the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion: Game of the Year Edition strategy guide for $150. Yes, that's insanely high, generally speaking, for a guide and yes, detailed walkthroughs can be found online, but collectors will pay big money for original video game items. Another example is the Splatterhouse games, which still fetch a good amount even though all of them can be played on the current gen remake.

    Anyway, I have auctions on eBay ending soon: http://www.ebay.com/sch/digiskai/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686.

    NEW OCR Shirt Designs! VOTE!

    Regarding the first shirt: Perhaps I'm reading too much into it, but since many find OCR to be elitist, the shirt falsely comes off as a self-fulfilling prophecy. Now, I don't care if people call the site elitist since most of the time it is unjustified. It's more the blind "I told you so" mentality they would have and satisfaction they would feel. What do y'all think?

    EDIT: I do like the idea of replacing one of the controllers with a mouse in the second shirt since I primarily make music with a mouse and am a PC gamer. :)

    Agreed, these are so cute. I have a lot of woot shirts, that my guess are probably a lot like the current OCR shirts in fit and fabric, I love some of their designs but not of how they feel or fit... Those longer, more fitted shirt you're posting are just my cup of tea though! :)

    Actually, it's the shirt that Woot uses I'm referring to. Here are DBH shirts using it. The primary shirt that DBH uses is okay, but is pretty thin.

    Maybe it would be cool to have a version with the original OCR logo on the front, and the instruments on the back? ^-^

    I've never been fond of fake university shirts and I like Jill's idea.

    As for shirts for us gals, I highly recommend this (NSFW) shirt by American Apparel. Various t-shirt sites like Design By Humans often use this particular one. I'm very picky when it comes to how shirts fit and this is the best one I've worn.
