Invitation to international research for gamers

As always, the question arose with the choice of a blog for the topic. At this time, I think that the "subconscious" fits better than ever (although if there were a blog, the "conscious" post would have been there).

I publish it at the request of Voiskunsky A.E. Those who are somehow interested in the interaction of man and computer, Internet addiction from the point of view of psychology probably know this name. If you hear it for the first time, then I can say that this is the person who has been heading the Psychological Problems of Informatization Laboratory for many years at the Faculty of Psychology at Moscow State University, and he is also one of the pioneers in studying human-computer interaction in our country (for more wiki ).

This post is an appeal of a prominent Russian scientist to all gamers.

We invite all domestic gamers to take part in an international survey of players in computer games. The survey is conducted by experts at the University of Maryland - the most prominent center in the United States to study the specifics of human-computer interaction. The survey is designed for both active gamers, and for all those who play infrequently, from time to time. Anyone who speaks English at a basic level can answer questions.

Initially, the questionnaire was distributed in the United States and in other English-speaking countries; the activity of Russian-speaking (as well as Chinese-speaking and speakers of other languages) gamers can allow to perform cross-cultural research on its basis.

It is necessary to add this: Russians can be attributed precisely to the caucasian, which means "white", and in any case not "Caucasians". Russians (like citizens of Ukraine, Belarus, etc.) of any nationality, if they are not negros, not Chinese or not Mongols - this is the caucasian, i.e. representatives of the white race.

Here is the link to participate in the study: http://lapdp.umd.edu:81/video_games/immersion_www/
The survey starts at the arrow Browse Through.
The arrow Go to Consent Form is optional, it is designed mainly for American students.

Hearty thanks to all who answer the questions!

Testing suggests that you have to spend about 30 minutes on the game installed on your computer.

From myself I ask you to help spread information on thematic communities. Thank you in advance!
