Also, since everyone is asking to see the results, I suppose that since everyone seems interested and as long as I could find an appropriate way to present the information to you I could put it up at once the unit has been handed in? I'm not quite sure what would be the most appropriate method to put it up, would you want to just read the final product I produce for my unit? (Baring in mind I am a Level 4 HNC/D Student at a College in England and in no way a professional researcher etc.)
That aside, don't do it. We're curious but not everyone who replied has asked to see the results right? It's better to keep up the professionalism than risk doing anything that anyone might consider unethical. If you're research ever gets turned into something that's freely available it'd be cool to see it. In the end you're in a way better position to decide whats appropriate or not but as curious as we are, I don't think anyone's going to particularly mind if you feel there is no appropriate way to present the data
I struggled with the "what attracts you to these choices" question... I'm so indecisive.
Anyway, interesting survey and I hope you get what you need from it, would be interesting to see the results.
Captcha: I like you!

One thing I found funny was that you had an "I don't know" answer to a "Do you believe" question. It's not about knowing, you either do or you don't, on whatever rational or irrational grounds you have. And yeah, the last one could have done with some more options or the chance for clarification, I think games can definitely affect you in the short term but don't lead to the development of an aggressive personality.
Done and done. Is tearing up over the end of a game an extreme reaction? Because I don't have violent fits or stuff like that, so I used that as an answer to the question.
Done, though I couldn't find a common theme between XCOM, Dragon Age, Injustice, Wreck-It-Ralph, The Godfather, Cloud Atlas, Game of Thrones, West Wing, and Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Edit: It may have been interesting to include books in the "other media" section. I believe I read somewhere that violent books have a stronger correlation with violent action then movies or games do. Though that was years ago so, don't hold me to that.

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.
