You got some funny answers from me as a result of doing this at work - the last two games I played were both online puzzle games.

All done mate, hope i aint too late.
As a fellow student, i know how annoying losing data can be, especially since making shit up takes even more time.

At least let us know your grade.

Took the survey. Put my name down as "James Pseudonym" if it wasn't obvious enough that I didn't want to put my real name down. Still, the answers were honest, so I hope this helps.

Damn, while typing this, I realize I just passed up a chance to call myself "Hugh Mann". What a lost opportunity.

Survey taken. Hope it doesn't bother you that I used my first name only. I put myself down as anonymous anyways

I just realised that all the series I wrote down (Poirot, Mike Hammer, and Murder, She Wrote) are murder mysteries. So obviously I have serious psychological problems because I enjouy murder so much!... or maybe swedes just enjoy the challenge of trying to figure out who killed Count von Killjoy before the main character does. Maybe that's why every channel has one over here.

Ok, I've done your survey but I need to explain my last answer. Yes, I do believe that there is a link between video games and violent behaviour in people: I believe that people who behave violently are more likely to seek out violent videogames as entertainment. I do not, however, think that videogames, violent or non-violent, are more likely to cause violent behaviour in people. I hope I've been of help.

We handle quite a lot of statistical data that is then transmogrified and bent to make specific sense in a scientific context... asking for names is not a very scientific thing to do. What matters are the parameters of sex, age, income, vaginal/anal/self-servicing, consumption habits (food/alcohol/tobacco/illegal substances)... pretty much anything can be taken into consideration depending on what the resulting amorphous mass of numbers is to show, prove or dismiss.

Names are not one of those parameters, ever. If this is the face of science today, it's no wonder it all goes to shits.

I call shenanigans.

Well I beg to respectfully disagree since I am required by my course to get consent from the participant through them writing their name in some way, the top of the questionnaire acts as a quick consent form which people agree to by writing in the name box, so for me, it is extremely relevant. I did include age and gender questions too. Granted, the other factors you listed are relevant and I agree that almost anything can be taken into consideration, but I needed to keep it focused and relevant to my course and I will have missed some sections out simply because I hadn't thought of them; I am in no way a professional and I don't intend to become a professional researcher, so if this seems amateurish, that is because it is exactly that, so I apologise for not meeting your standards.
