Hey, I'm currently a Sociology With Psychology under-graduate at Teesside University and I'm currently doing my dissertation on trolling behaviour. Could some people fill out a questionnaire about it? All you have to be is someone who takes part in trolling behaviour of any kind and over 18 (for ethical reasons).

Here is the questionnaire. [http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/WN8BS8Y]

Here is the consent form, which by filling out the questionnaire you give your consent to take part in the study. [http://rapidshare.com/files/3094862416/Informed%20Consent%20Form%201.doc]

If there's any questions anyone wishes to ask on the dissertation just post it here or just private message me about it and I'll try to reply promptly.

Thanks for any help people can offer.

I'm guessing this is to be your first and only post on this forum?

I've seen that questionnaires posted by people like you tend to attract less submissions than ones by folks who have been around for a bit.

People tend to be leerly of them, thinking them to be bots or phishing attempts.

I actually post on this forum from time to time on a different name, however if I was to post it on that name it may cause methodological issues (mainly because people may respond in a way based on forum reputation rather in a neutral way). So I was pretty much forced to make a new account just for this.

Completed the survey, good luck with your dissertation.

If I could make a suggestion though, I dunno if you can still change parts of the survey, I would change the 'Do you consider yourself a troll' question to 'Have you ever engaged in activities you would consider to be trolling?' because while I don't consider myself to be an active troll I have, for reasons I gave in the survey, trolled people in the past.
