Please keep in mind this is a scientific study, so complete and total honesty is needed in every category. None of your names will be mentioned and none of your other information will be disclosed, this is simply a survey experiment. Anyway, here goes.

No prob, bob. I used to have to do these for school so I feel you.

How old are you? 23


Are you male or female? Female


What grade are you in (College students specify year)? 1st year grad student


On average, what grades to you get in school? B


Do you conscider yourself a serious or a casual gamer? Semi-serious?


In your best estimate, how much time do you think you spend on video games a week (this includes any sort of game that is played on a screen)? Currently I don't have time to play more than on weekends, but when I'm not this busy I'll probably play... 30 hours a week mebbe.


If you live alone skip this question
Ask someone else in your household (a sibling or parent will do) how much time they think you spend on games; what is their answer?
My husband says "I don't know... How many hours are you awake?" but he's just as bad as me so he can shut his pie hole.


What systems do you own?
I own SNES, SEGA Genesis, GB Color, GBASP, GameCube, PSP, and DS Lite. We also have my husband's SEGA Masters and five operational computers in our apartment. I would have an Atari but my grandma decided to just take it out of my room and give it away when I still lived with her.


Do you play games online (such as XBox Live or Diablo II)? Right now mostly just Dawn of War and Battlefield 2.


Do you play video games on PCs(games that you buy, not online games)? Most of the time.


If you play an MMORPG, which one(s) do you play (including Runescape)? Guild Wars is a CORPG, but most people count it as an MMORPG.


What kind of games do you own? General genres are fine, or if you'd rather write out your library list, that's fine too; just be sure to include the system its on. Uhh... Simulation, puzzle, party, RPG, action, real time strategy, racing, fighting, and first person shooters. Maybe a couple others. I mostly play simulation games though.


After playing a "violent" game, do you feel any different? Satisfied, destructive, frustrated, etc. Not any different than after playing any other type of game.


Have you ever gotten frustrated at a game to the point where you felt you had to vent in some way? Explain what you did and what made you angry. If you have never done this, do you know a friend or sibling who has? Explain the situation. I haven't. One of my friends broke his Super Smash Bros disk in half after losing too many rounds but he was drunk and he thought it was funny so that probably doesn't count.

The best way to go about interviewing is to go out and talk to people and ask them to answer a few questions. If it's supposed to be localized to your school, so much the better.

I personally would worry about data procured from an internet forum and as a teacher I would not hold it as credible in any major assignment.

<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selection_bias">Letting people choose for themselves whether or not to participate in your survey may introduce bias.</a>

This is simply a starting point. I'm not going to go and say "here are my results, they're from a forum full of video gamers." That would be pure stupidity. And maybe scientific wasn't the word I was going for, its more of a jump start to something larger. I've sat down and thought hard for a while on what I'm going to do for this, and what it is as a whole is what is made of it when I recieve the answers. But what do you mean otherwise that "letting people choose can result in selection bias?" Its a website, I can't say "answer this survey or I'll release a virus onto your computers."

Isn't homework supposed to be serious?

Well, anyway, not my place to judge I suppose. I've a spare moment so I'll fill it out.

How old are you?

20


Are you male or female?

Male


What grade are you in (College students specify year)?

Junior year of University (3rd year, 15th grade, as it were)


On average, what grades to you get in school?

Fluctuates (sometimes wildly) depending on if I care about the class, we'll put it at around a high C to low B average though. May change in this environment, but there you go.


Do you consider yourself a serious or a casual gamer?

Semi-serious

In your best estimate, how much time do you think you spend on video games a week (this includes any sort of game that is played on a screen)?

Honestly can't say for sure. I'd say I invest a good 5, 6 hours at least. It depends on if I have something I want to play.

If you live alone skip this question
Ask someone else in your household (a sibling or parent will do) how much time they think you spend on games; what is their answer?

Not with my family currently, but they'd likely say that I play way too much.

What systems do you own?

Gamecube, Playstation 2, DS Lite, GBA, GBA SP.


Do you play games online (such as XBox Live or Diablo II)?

Diablo II generally.


Do you play video games on PCs(games that you buy, not online games)?

Afforementioned Diablo II, and other games usually by Blizzard or Bioware.

If you play an MMORPG, which one(s) do you play (including Runescape)?

I HAVE played Maple Story and Runescape. Both of which sucked so I stopped. MMORPGs don't really appeal to me all that much.

What kind of games do you own? General genres are fine, or if you'd rather write out your library list, that's fine too; just be sure to include the system its on.

Mainly RPG and SRPG, some RTS, a few action and puzzle mixed in for good measure.

After playing a "violent" game, do you feel any different? Satisfied, destructive, frustrated, etc.

Not at all different.

Have you ever gotten frustrated at a game to the point where you felt you had to vent in some way? Explain what you did and what made you angry. If you have never done this, do you know a friend or sibling who has? Explain the situation.

I get irritated with games sometimes when they're stupid. But then I just turn them off. I don't know anyone who really reacts strongly to any video game.

I think what Unne meant by the bias is that generally speaking, the statistics achieved by surveys are deemed more valid when the sampling is random and each person equal opportunity to be in the sampling pool. This is done through various ways, systematic sampling, stratified sampling, quota sampling, etc. Just asking a bunch of people to answer questions for you introduces a lot of bias into the equation which makes the survery and the results from the survey less valid.

Also, the way you've phrased your questions as open ended (no real set answers to choose from) will make it difficult to accurately infer information from the survey afterward. At least in any real scientific way.

I'm only rambling about this because I'm taking Sociological Statistics right now. :p

Do you conscider yourself a serious or a casual gamer?
eh... both I guess. I'm obsessed with the games that I do play but I don't play alot, just FF, Soul Calibur, Sims and a few other random things so I guess I can't be classified as "serious" but I play games on a daily basis and have obsessions with certain characters like Amy and Raphael Sorel :love: and RIKKU :love:

In your best estimate, how much time do you think you spend on video games a week (this includes any sort of game that is played on a screen)?

so this includes the handheld soccer game I got from McDonalds? I play games whenever I get the chance... which is about every day or so. Maybe one or 2 hours during weekdays and possibly the entire day on the weekends.


If you live alone skip this question
Ask someone else in your household (a sibling or parent will do) how much time they think you spend on games; what is their answer?

my mom yells at me sometimes for playing games too much. I can't ask her right now though cus she's in bed, but she got mad at me once and I know she thinks I play too much cus I ignore her sometimes. But hey they're more entertaining than her. And they're not mean.

What systems do you own?

PS one, PS2

Do you play games online (such as XBox Live or Diablo II)?

umm... I play a dirty hentai game called Crimson Yuna

Do you play video games on PCs(games that you buy, not online games)?

If you play an MMORPG, which one(s) do you play (including Runescape)?

what's MMORPG?

After playing a "violent" game, do you feel any different? Satisfied, destructive, frustrated, etc.

Happy, and a feeling of accomplishment when I win and frustrated and disappointed when I repeatedly lose. I don't feel destructive after I play. I play BECAUSE I feel destructive.

Have you ever gotten frustrated at a game to the point where you felt you had to vent in some way? Explain what you did and what made you angry. If you have never done this, do you know a friend or sibling who has? Explain the situation.

I broke my controller. Twice. The first time I was 11 and playing Frogger and that was actually an accident but I broke it over my best friend's knee... :( It was my favorite controller too, it was all green and pretty. I don't think that was because I was frustrated though, but the second time I was playing Soul Calibur 3 and kept dying and slammed my controller down. That was just recently, like a few weeks ago maybe. You'd think I learn my lesson the first time my controller broke.

Of course you get frustrated sometimes. Like when you've accidentaly saved over your game when it's near the end - or deleted the file. Sometimes you just can't complete a level or whatever. But you just walkaway and get over it soon enough.

Serious

In your best estimate, how much time do you think you spend on video games a week (this includes any sort of game that is played on a screen)?
At least three hours a day - so around 21 hours at the very least. Sometimes I will play almost ten or twelve hours day after day, so it really varies. I once played a game for 38 hours straight.

If you live alone skip this question
Ask someone else in your household (a sibling or parent will do) how much time they think you spend on games; what is their answer?
Basically the same as what I just related

FPS, or other shooters (such as Star Wars: Battlefront or Ratchet and Clank)
Puzzle (such as Myst)

After playing a "violent" game, do you feel any different? Satisfied, destructive, frustrated, etc.
Nothing really, other than if I finished a difficult mission. The happiness comes not from conquering people, but the accomplishment of advancing the game further.

Have you ever gotten frustrated at a game to the point where you felt you had to vent in some way? Explain what you did and what made you angry. If you have never done this, do you know a friend or sibling who has? Explain the situation.
Yes, indeed I have felt angry at a game.

The worse thing I have done is curse or mumble obscenities and shake my fist or pick up the keyboard and threaten the game with it. Stupid little gestures of threatening something that will not respond in any way...Sometimes I will quickly, none-too-gently turn the game off, but nothing more than that.

My father would throw controllers when he's mad.

After playing a "violent" game, do you feel any different? Satisfied, destructive, frustrated, etc.
It depends on whether I win or not. Assuming I do, I feel good and calm. If I lose, I might be a bit ticked, but that's the case with all games I play.


Have you ever gotten frustrated at a game to the point where you felt you had to vent in some way? Explain what you did and what made you angry. If you have never done this, do you know a friend or sibling who has? Explain the situation.
I have bitten controllers, smashed them off the ground, and yelled with outrage. I cannot remember what at exactly, but probably one of those cheap-as-chips bosses who moves faster than the smallest girl character in the game, and hits harder than the biggest, heaviest guy.
