TV ClubHouse: Archives: 2003 January: Women and the Internet -- Research Study Hey again everyone!! Guess what? It is finally here -- my dissertation study!!!!!! Briefly, my study is about women who use the Internet to develop friendships and romances online. This means that if you are a woman who has ever met someone online that you had never met previously in person or over the phone, then you qualify to participate. Now, with all the TVCH Road Trips, that includes a significant number of people on this board! LOL Let me clarify, though, you do not have to have ever met the person face-to-face, you just have to have developed what you consider to be a friendship or a romance. And, it doesn't matter if you eventually met, married, or whatever, you just have to have met initially online. The website goes into great detail on this, but it is a two-part study, and it is completely confidential. Even if you reveal to me who you are, I will not tell a soul from this board or in my real life with the exception of my research supervisor. You can tell the world if you like, but I cannot and will not ![]() I mentioned it is in two parts. The first part takes about 5-10 minutes of your time and includes a brief demographic questionnaire to complete. From those completed questionnaires, I will be selecting 8-12 people to interview online in the coming months. The interview will take about 2-3 hours, and can be scheduled at your convenience. Take a look at the site and if you have any questions, you can email me at netcomresearch@aol.com. I am the only person with access to that email address. ![]() ![]() Thank you, SpyGirl %5cred%7b%5cb%7bHey+again+everyone%21%21+Guess+what%3f+It+is+finally+here+%2d%2d+my+dissertation+study%21%21%21%21%21%21%7d%7d%0a%0aBriefly%2c+my+study+is+about+women+who+use+the+Internet+to+develop+%5cb%7bfriendships%7d+and+%5cb%7bromances%7d+online%2e+This+means+that+if+you+are+a+woman+who+has+ever+met+someone+online+that+you+had+never+met+previously+in+person+or+over+the+phone%2c+then+you+qualify+to+participate%2e+Now%2c+with+all+the+TVCH+Road+Trips%2c+that+includes+a+significant+number+of+people+on+this+board%21+LOL%0a%0aLet+me+clarify%2c+though%2c+you+do+not+have+to+have+ever+met+the+person+face%2dto%2dface%2c+you+just+have+to+have+developed+what+you+consider+to+be+a+friendship+or+a+romance%2e+And%2c+it+doesn%27t+matter+if+you+eventually+met%2c+married%2c+or+whatever%2c+%5cred%7b%5ci%7byou+just+have+to+have+met+initially+online%2e+%7d%7d%0a%0aThe+website+goes+into+great+detail+on+this%2c+but+it+is+a+two%2dpart+study%2c+and+it+is+%5cblue%7b%5ci%7bcompletely+confidential%7d%7d%2e+Even+if+you+reveal+to+me+who+you+are%2c+I+will+not+tell+a+soul+from+this+board+or+in+my+real+life+with+the+exception+of+my+research+supervisor%2e+You+can+tell+the+world+if+you+like%2c+but+I+cannot+and+will+not+%3a%29+%0a%0aI+mentioned+it+is+in+two+parts%2e+The+first+part+takes+about+5%2d10+minutes+of+your+time+and+includes+a+brief+demographic+questionnaire+to+complete%2e+From+those+completed+questionnaires%2c+I+will+be+selecting+8%2d12+people+to+interview+%5ci%7bonline%7d+in+the+coming+months%2e+The+interview+will+take+about+2%2d3+hours%2c+and+can+be+scheduled+at+your+convenience%2e+%0a%0a%5cred%7b%5cb%7bTake+a+look+at+the+site+and+if+you+have+any+questions%2c+you+can+email+me+at+netcomresearch%40aol%2ecom%2e+I+am+the+%5ci%7bonly%7d+person+with+access+to+that+email+address%2e+%7d%7d%0a%0a%5cclipart%7bclick%7d+%5cnewurl%7bhttp%3a%2f%2fnetcomresearch%2ecom%2fwomensresearch%2ehtm%2c+http%3a%2f%2fnetcomresearch%2ecom%2fwomensresearch%2ehtm%7d+%5cclipart%7bclick%7d%0a%0aThank+you%2c+%0aSpyGirl
