A quick questionnaire

[r1zeek]

After speaking with Zak33, he has given me permission to post up a short questionnaire I require a few participants for.

I'm in the A2 year of A levels at the moment at Sussex Downs College in Eastbourne and am studying Computing, Media Studies and Psychology. For my Media Studies course, I'm required to do a research project. My research is into the sparsely explored area of Physiological Addiction in Computer/Video games. I have a short 10 question questionnaire to guage people's opinions of Games and various aspects to do with Games and Addiction that I'd be very greatful is some of you could fill in.

This is part of my College course and results will be completely annonymous and kept confidentially.

I appreciate this sort of thing is not normally allowed and am entirely thankful to the moderators for allowing this and for you Hexites for taking part.

Below are the questions, if you could please PM your answers to me.


1. What is your age bracket:
<16
16 – 18
19 – 21
21 – 25
25+

2. What is your definition of addiction in general?

3. How many hours a week on average do you play computer/video games?
0
1-10
11-20
21-30
31-40
41+

4. Do you feel you play too much?

5. What elements of a gaming do you think could make it addictive?

6. Do you think genre could have any effect on how addictive a game is?

7. Could a games’ popularity effect its “addictiveness”?

8. In your opinion, what are the three most addicting games and why?

9. Do you think any addiction can be treated?

10. In your opinion, are there social problems created by excessive game playing?


If you have any questions or problems please feel free to contact me via PM.
Thank you very much!
Tom
