A place for surveys and polls to be posted. Research studies for school purposes are welcome as well as opinion polls

We are also a place for people who enjoy responding to surveys to gather and help people obtain responses for their research.

Questions about a mild level of statistics or wording of surveys are also permitted.

Welcome to r/SampleSize, a community dedicated to scientific, fun, and creative surveys produced for and by redditors! We know the sidebar is long, but it is informative - please give it a read!

This community is welcoming; hate speech and abusiveness will never be tolerated. Offenders will be banned at the discretion of the mods.

Guidelines

Titles must be properly formatted.

[Tag] Topic (Demographic)

If your title doesn't match up with the guidelines it will be removed.

Here are some examples:

  • [Casual] Favorite Ice Cream (US 18+)
  • [Results] What do you take in your coffee (Canadians 19-37)
  • [Academic] Handedness (All welcome)

Here are the pieces of the title:

[Tag] - [Casual], [Academic], or [Marketing] for surveys. [Meta] for discussion of survey methodology. [Results] for posts sharing the results of a previously posted survey. Choose only one tag.

Topic - Topic of your survey ("survey for my english class" is not an adequate description).

(Demographic) - Who you want to answer your survey; age, country, characteristics, etc. Let potential respondents know whether they should participate (required even if your survey is open to everybody).

If you're confused about the rules, message the moderators and ask questions!

Reposting

Please feel free to repost your survey after 24 hours have passed, AND it has fallen off of the front page.

Please add [Repost] to your original title to prevent getting duplicate respondents. It'll look like this:

[Repost][Casual] Favourite Colour? (All)

If you repost your survey within 24 hours of your last post, it will be removed. Please remember to repost within reason.

Gender / Sex

When asking about gender or sex, include "another gender" and/or a "fill in the blank" option if your demographic is for (Everyone).

This helps with data integrity, and it also helps with inclusion. More people than you might think would fill out "other" on a gender question! If you are strictly interested in only people who identify as Male or Female, make sure you use (M/F) in your demographic.

Race / Ethnicity

If you are asking about race and/or ethnicity in your survey, please know the differences between them.

Race refers to physical characteristics that one shares with other people of one's race, while ethnicity refers to one's culture and traditions. If you mix these up, you once again may run into data integrity issues!

Ethical implications and consent

Don't forget to consider ethical implications and consent for your research.

If you require signed consent from a moderator before posting your survey, feel free to message the moderators and we would be happy to help you out.

Commenting and Behaviour

Please refrain from soliciting participants in the comments section of other surveys.

The discussion section for each thread is for comments about that survey. If you see people doing this, feel free to report the comment, and we'll remove it and talk to them about it.

Flair for Posts

You can tag your surveys as [Casual] [Academic] or [Marketing] and then people can search on them!

Casual

Academic

Marketing

Everybody likes to see survey results! If you are able to post the results of your survey, please use a [Results] tag on that post, and please use link flair on your results. Just click on the "flair" link underneath your post to get this dialog box and select "Results".

We are now awarding user flair for those who take the time to post some interesting results. If you posted prior to the implementation, or if we missed your results post, message the mods with a link to your results submission.

Self Post vs. Survey

How people from different political perspectives react to news content (People from America)

These are six excerpts from news articles. And you are asked to write a short comment about what you think about them.

I have posted these types of surveys here before each with different articles. But it's better if each survey has different respondents. So please don't take the survey if you already took one of them before.

My sincere and immense gratitude to everyone who took (and takes) the time to do these surveys.

[Casual] Family Feud Survey for Work Training - Short Answers to Work-Related Opinion Questions (US 18+)

I run our annual training at my job (I work in tax at a public accounting firm). We usually do a boring Jeopardy game for the new interns at the end of the week, but I want to try to make it fun this year with a Family Feud-style game. The survey asks for short written answers, just answer with the first thing that comes to mind. If you can answer the first ten questions that would be awesome, but any number of answers will help. I included an additional ten questions if you are having fun and want to do more. Thanks for taking the time to help me out!

[repost] Academic Research on sound design and sound realism in video games (Anyone)

Academic Research on sound design and sound realism in video games (Anyone)

Hi r/SampleSize , I’m a research assistant tasked with gathering data on sounds in video games.   
If this is outside the rules of this particular sub-reddit, mods, feel free to remove this post.  

As part of the project “Auralization: validity, references and tools for Audiokinetic and Wwise” we are looking for adults to participate in a study on auditory perception in video games. Wwise is an audio engine used in many video games, developed by Montreal-based company Audiokinetic. This project aims to better understand our sense of immersion when faced with the level of precision of the sounds modeled in video games. The project is part of a doctoral program at the Université de Sherbrooke (Quebec, Canada). The results of this study will be completely anonymous, and the project has been validated by the University of Sherbrooke's Humanities and Social Sciences Research Ethics Committee (n°2021-2954). The end date for data collection is 31/08/2025. 

To help us with this project, you can take part in a small study that involves listening to and comparing sounds of short duration. The test takes less than 15 minutes to complete, and your participation will be very useful for this project. If you find the test too long, don't worry, you can quit at any time.  

The first part is a short questionnaire to help us learn more about you and your gaming habits. Don't worry, all answers are anonymous. The second part will consist of short audio clips played in specific scenes. You will be asked to answer questions about the sounds you will hear. 

And lastly, if you have any comments on the test itself, feel free to let us know here! 

Come and take part in this great large-scale listening test experience!

No personal data is collected, no sign-in to Google is required and most questions can be skipped if so desired.
