Dr Otto STO Research Post Release Phase Alpha

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
Hello,

My name is Dr. Richard Otto and I am a professor in the Media Communication and Technology department of East Stroudsburg University, PA, USA.

The MCOM website is:
http://www4.esu.edu/academics/majors2/programs/mcom/faculty.cfm

I am conducting research about how Star Trek Online players perceive their interactions within STO, at present and in the future. The first phase of this research is in the form of online surveys/questionnaires, with interviews to be conducted in the future.

I have the permission of CBS, and Cryptic Studios to conduct this research; however, I do not work for either CBS or Cryptic Studios, in any capacity.

The overall plan is to publish the results of this research in various forms, such as academic papers, as well as potentially in book form.

The results will also eventually be shared with CBS and Cryptic, however, any and all material that potentially identifies the identity of a research participant will be removed prior to any and all forms of dissemination.

All participants must be 18 years or older.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me rotto@po-box.esu.edu or the East Stroudsburg University Institutional Review Board Administrator, Dr. Shala Davis sdavis@po-box.esu.edu or 570 422 (three, three, three, six)

If you wish to participate, please click on the link below, otherwise, have a great day!

    This thread should be locked before the jokes start flying.
    And made Sticky, if it's legit.

    (PS: ...but just thinking: isn't it a bit premature to survey a 2mnths old online game thats community hasn't crystallized yet?)

    Survey responded. The questions seem to be thought out pretty well. And I had fun answering the questions and thinking about what led me to answer each way.

    Good luck with your research, and I do hope that you post your findings and/or final results here when finished, if possible. :)

    Is East Stroudsburg University accredited?

    Anyway, I'm not participating in whatever government sponsored psy-ops thing you're researching here is. You can pass that refusal on to your handlers, doctor.

    Lol. If you complete the survey, they'll send you a free, shiny hat of finest tinfoil.
