Video Game Preference Study (Academic Survey–Second Recruitment)
Hello everyone,
My name is Jeremy Brenner-Levoy and I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Sociology at the University of Cincinnati. I am doing my dissertation on how who we are shapes how we play video games. If you play video games, please consider taking my survey. It should only take about 12-15 minutes to complete. This is my second time recruiting in this location, so if you have already seen this survey please do not take it again.
I have three main goals for this research study:
To understand if and how video games are afforded different levels of prestige.
To understand how who we are shapes the games we play and what we look for in games.
To understand how who we are shapes the roles we play within games or the way we play games.
Confidentiality:
You have the ability to take this survey and remain completely anonymous. But, should you leave your contact info for either eligibility in the gift card raffle or for a follow-up interview, your information will be kept confidential and will be deleted after use.
Compensation:
I do not have funding to pay all participants, but I have secured $6,000 for participants. I will be raffling off 60, $50 gift cards to survey participants who indicate they are interested. Additionally, I will be randomly selecting 60 interviewees from those who indicate their interest, who will also get $50 gift cards for their time.

Personal note:
I have been a gamer my whole life, and I am very interested in how social structures seem to impact video game play. While most researchers focus on how harassment shapes our interest in play, I am more interested in how who we are shapes what and how we have fun. I suspect that social issues are present even within this.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out in the comments or directly via message.
