I unfortunately never really got into posting around here, for some odd reason, but I know it's a fairly developed community, and I was hoping some of you could help me out with a stats project I'm doing on social development within internet forum communities. I've already posted this on a forum or two that I post on regularly, but I was hoping to get perspectives from different kinds of people, and Browncoats cover a diverse group. If you can take the time, I'd really appreciate if you could take the survey, it's not terribly long, and all of the answers are isolated to one word, or a number rating. I hope it's alright to post this here, I figured since it was a general talk section it would be okay. Anyway though, thanks a lot for your help!

Notes:

- All questions apply to those who have been a part of an internet community for two years or more.
- Your answers don't have to apply specifically to any one forum, since many people participate in multiple forum communities.
- If a question says (0-10) in parentheses after it, it means you should rate your answer on a scale from 0-10.
- (All 0-10 scales are measured as 0 being the absolute least, 5 being the middle and 10 being the absolute most.)

Questionnaire:

1. What is your age?

2. What is your gender?

3. How long have you been a part of a forum-based internet community?

4. On average, how many hours a week do you spend participating in this community?

5. In social situations within the community, how easy do you find it to express your opinions and feelings? (0-10)

6. Is this feeling different from how it was when you first joined? If so, is it more positive or negative?

7. Do you feel you have created friendships within the community, despite no contact with members in person?(0-10)

8. Have you ever asked members of the community for help with a personal problem or offered help of the same nature?

9. In social situations in your everyday life, how easy do you find it to express your opinions and feelings?(0-10)

10. How comfortable do you generally feel in group settings when you do not know the rest of the group very well?(0-10)

11. On average, what level of anxiety or nervousness might you feel when entering into an unfamiliar social situation?(0-10)

12. How confident are you that a new acquaintance would get a good or “right” impression of you upon meeting you?(0-10)

13. What amount of your social skill and ability to be comfortable in social situations would you say has been gained over time throughout your young adulthood?(0-10)

14. How much of your social development would you say can be attributed to the people you have socialized with in person?(0-10)

15. How much of your social development would you say can be attributed to the people you have socialized with exclusively over the internet?(0-10)
