chris5264 Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 I am an experimental psychologist and am currently conducting a study on the mind of the watch enthusiast. In this study, you will be asked several questions concerning your preference for watches and your opinions on several topics. Your participation is completely anonymous. While general comments are welcome, I would ask that you hold off on comments that might bias those that have not participated. When this project is completed, I will post a link where you may read the results. This study has been approved by the research ethics committee at Slippery Rock University where I am a psychology professor. My sincere thanks for your time and to the forum for allowing me to post this. To participate in an online questionnaire, please go to http://freeonlinesurveys.com/start.asp?sid...qo606lyhq204909 thanks, chris, NOTE: Please only selection responses with words next to them. For a few questions, there are responses without any text, please do not choose these. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usil Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 (edited) Question 10 does not work well for reps. (Do you care where it was made?) Choice of watch preference should allow for #1, #2 and #3. Usil Edited August 24, 2006 by Usil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcrooz Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 The results of the first survey was an intersting read. I particularly liked your closing statement... Of course these ideas are tentative and I acknowledge there are other, even simpler hypotheses that could equally explain these findings. However, for the time being I will consider this study and the interpretations I’ ve made a glimpse into the mind of the watch enthusiast. If anything, it has given me a much more convincing excuse to give to my wife why I spend so much time (and money) pursuing my fascination with these complex works.

ryyannon Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Chris, as what you would qualify as a left-handed ruminator interested in the organization of my own mind, I found myself obscessing over following question as I did your survey, namely: Is Slippery Rock located anywhere near Rolling Rock? Interesting survey, btw. Your reference to paradoxical self-reference in relation to the example of a Gödel-type question reminds me of the work done by people like R.D. Laing on double-bind (damned if you do, damned if you don't) linguistic constructions which he felt were used to drive designated victims mad ('schizophrenic'), often in family contexts. Your "...so I have to remain in silence, unable to give a true statement." speaks volumes to me, both by personal and professional experience. But before I forget, Rolling Rock?

chris5264 Posted August 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Is Slippery Rock located anywhere near Rolling Rock? Unfortunately, Slippery Rock isn't near much of anything and the name is very literal, there are some slippery rocks near the campus. Many thanks to those that have participated so far, thanks for your time and comments. And again, my thanks to those that run RWG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris5264 Posted August 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 whats is with the lets make a deal question? there was a right answer? I know some of this seems really strange. I'll do my best to explain the ideas behind this study shorty. However, there are specific hypotheses being tested. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Also guys please remember that Chris has asked that we don't discuss the actual questions openly as it could affect the answers of those still to do the quizz. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
