Cyber Harassment Survey

[Castaras]

Cyber Harassment Survey (https://www.facebook.com/CyberHarrasmentStudy)

A friend of mine is working on her dissertation, and needs some people to take this survey regarding friends and cyber bullying. If anyone is able to take quarter an hour to fill this out, would be amazing. :smallsmile:

[Astrella]

Will give it a go~

[The Succubus]

If there's a non-Facebook version, I'll help.

[Feytalist]

Same here.

I like filling in things :smallbiggrin:

[Castaras]

Direct link to the survey is here (https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/YHZTQJD). Thanks very much. ^.^

[Astrella]

Okies done. After a while I got that thing going where I kept thinking agree and disagree were misspelled when they weren't. >.>

[Eldan]

The non-Facebook version is a bit pointless, isn't it? I mean, all the questions seem to be about Facebook and I'm not on any social networks. I only use Skype ad other messengers.

[Castaras]

These forums are a form social network too. :smallsmile:

And I didn't notice any facebook specific questions when I did it. There's a lot which I was thinking of online games and forums rather than facebook (most of it, actually).

[The Succubus]

Not really - only the first bit was tied up with Facebook stuffs. The rest was general purpose, so Cassie's friend should still be able to get some useful* info from it.

* YMMV

[Feytalist]

The second page is almost entirely Facebook-related. It's annoying for those of us who don't use it, sure. They'll just have to accept a bunch of "N/A" answers.


4. My data will be kept in a locked filing cabinet for a period of at least five years

Heheheh. I found this way too amusing. The height of security!

[IamL]

*I neither agree NOR disagree

Nor, not or.

What? No, I'm not a grammar nazi. I'm a grammar communist. I treat all grammatical errors equally.

[Skeppio]

And done! @.@ That was a pretty long survey.... or at least it felt long. :smalltongue:

Hope my data helps!

[Eldan]

I tend to overdiscuss survey questions in my head anyway. Usually to the point that I hand then in half empty or more. "Do I disagree with that? Hm, maybe, but they could mean this in the context of American society. But then there are exceptions to that. Hm. Which definition of "X" is that? I have feeling X about issue "Y*", but that is only when "Z"..."

I couldn't even make it through the first page. I hate multiple choice.

[Rawhide]

I heard you're idea's and their definately good.


(Also, while "nor" is more correct, following old rules, "or" is still correct following new rules.)

[Feytalist]

Done.

I, on the other hand, end up selecting "Neither agree or disagree" for most of the questions, and only deviate on things I actually care about.


Lots of generic personality questions. Not that many cyber harassment questions. Hmm.

[IamL]

Hey! You read XKCD, too! *high fives Rawhide through the blogosphere.*

It's just like affect vs effect, though. One is more correct in a given situation, so it should be used.
The only difference is, affect vs effect is a verb vs a noun; or vs nor is inclusive vs exclusive.

[OverdrivePrime]

That was a surprisingly complete survey. It looks like there's a lot more insight you can gather than 'just' information on cyber harassment behavior.

I'd say it's it's more like who vs whom. If you know how to use whom correctly and without sounding stuffy, use it, if not, who is just fine.

[IamL]

I suppose so. But the rule between nor and or is much simpler to learn than the one that differentiates who and whom.

[Lentrax]

Done. That was interesting.

Just switched GitP for Facebook. Meh, probably can't be that different right?

[EmeraldRose]

Done. Hope your friend gets some good data for the study. :smallsmile:

Actually, both 'affect' and 'effect' can be both a noun and a verb. Examples are, "effecting a change in policy," "he affected the outcome of the race," "the effect of the earthquake was huge," and "we knew something was wrong because of his flat affect." 'Affect' in the latter case being emotions. And now you know! :smallwink:

Will do the survey when I get back tonight...

Well, yes, but that's the exception to the rule.

So I should have said, "affect is almost always a verb; effect is almost always a noun."

[Rawhide]

Honestly, I'm surprised that you seemed to forget the wonderful xkcd (http://xkcd.com/326/).

The biggest difference between using whom and nor, is that nor doesn't make you sound stuffy. But that's neither here nor there.

Personally, I'd actually like to see affect and effect merged, where using one or the other is interchangeable, similar to the way that licence and license has gone (at least in some regions).



But... ahh... guys? We've gone quite off-topic for the thread.

[noparlpf]

Hmm, I was cyber-harassed one time. I'll give it a go.

[Coidzor]

Done and done.

Edit: Kinda depressing though.

[Ursus the Grim]

I completed it. It seemed like they had some random questions about political leanings, but when was too much data ever a bad thing, amirite NSA?

One major thing it failed to address, and please, hold your stones, is what if the survey-taker was one who perpetrated said harassment. Back in my younger days, the days of mudkipz and myspace, I was part of a certain nameless collective of kids that 'hacked' myspaces and harassed random people. I think the survey could benefit from a section for people who think they might have harassed someone at some point.

I've personally never been harassed, in part because of my somewhat nonchalant attitude towards the internet.

[WarKitty]

I did notice the questions on the second page (about what your friends could do) tended to be heavily transportation-oriented. This is going to skew by age and income level. For example, I would have difficulty finding someone who could loan me a car because vehicle ownership is a luxury around here. It would also be worth asking about the effects of cyber-harassment: for someone like me where it seriously exacerbated mental health problems, I know my answers to how I react to and trust people would have been very different before what happened. (Basically, a very close friend went all out and posted online that I was dangerous, sociopathic, and trying to harass him, using the information that I had taken time off and was being treated for mental illness as evidence.)

[Eldan]

The political questions were strange. Especially when it only asked if I voted for any of the right-wing parties. I wonder how that correlates with bullying.

Hm? I remember two questions, one asking if you tend to vote liberal, one asking if you tend to vote conservative.
What if you're a minor?

[Coidzor]

Pretend you could vote and imagine who you'd be voting for, or at least that's generally the solution in surveys if they don't include an option for "I'm 12 and what's this?"

[Eldan]

Yeah. Liberal and conservative. As in, the two main groups of right wing parties. No centralists, socialists, democrats, communists or other non-right-wing groups.

Hmm. Probably better stop talking about this. Forum rules and all.

[EmeraldRose]

I felt like the questions were trying to discover some sort of correlation between political sympathies and tendency towards a personality type that might be more likely to be bullied. Now I'm kind of wishing I had clicked the thing requesting the results. It'd be nice to know a little more...

Cassie, what are the chances you could let me know what your friend's results are? :smallconfused:

Ooh. That's...rough. Very rough.
As somebody who is studying to become a psychiatrist, that is horrific. I'm sorry.

Ditto on the last question. I accidentally didn't check it. Then, I couldn't go back.
I had to press the "Nooooooooo!" button six or seven times.

[Grinner]

Yeah. Liberal and conservative. As in, the two main groups of right wing parties. No centralists, socialists, democrats, communists or other non-right-wing groups.

That description does not quite apply in American politics however, perhaps indicating an American viewpoint...Kinda strange, considering how Castaras and presumably her friend are British...

Everyone on the internet is presumed American until proven otherwise, on the other hand...

That's certainly not what those terms mean in the US. I've no idea how they're used elsewhere.


Anyway, one thing I noticed about the survey was the repetition of the same questions, often with slightly different wording. I'm not sure whether that's supposed to catch people making stuff up or what. Since I'm not mulling over the questions, if the same question was several pages ago, I might forget how I answered it and answer it differently. On the other hand, two questions with slightly different wording right next to each other could get vastly different responses based on how I interpret the wording. Example: "I mess things up" versus "I make a mess of things." Those do not mean that same thing at all to me. The former translates to "I completely botch my attempts at doing things" and the latter translates to "I make things worse by botching things so badly." I frequently screw up, but it doesn't usually make the situation worse, so I would agree to the first but disagree to the second.

Like a lot of times, for me cyberbullying was an adjunct to irl bullying and harassment. Someone just turned and used everything they could to tear me down. Nasty business, and if it hadn't been a week before I was leaving the state anyway they'd have been facing a lawyer in short order.

[Eldan]

I was never cyberbullied. Back when I was a kid (you damn youngsters! The nineties! That was almost twenty years ago, now!) that just wasn't a thing. We didn't go on the internet, if we even had it. I first saw a kid with a mobile phone when I was perhaps 14 and they were an exception.

[Amidus Drexel]

Hrm... A lot of my answers to the "answer these as they pertain to (facebook) social networking sites" questions would be very different in person.

Interesting survey, though; glad I could help.

[Feytalist]

Come to think of it, I was cyber-stalked once.

I just kept on quoting the Havamal at the person. In Icelandic.

They went away after a while.

[Jormengand]

The only difference is, affect vs effect is a verb vs a noun; or vs nor is inclusive vs exclusive.

You can, in fact, effect something (put it into effect), but...

Anyway, yeah, I started on the survey and then promptly stopped because none of the questions actually applied to me.
