I'm not sure if I'm violating UO terms by doing this, but I'm conducting a research study for a graduate level psychology course. I need to get as many people as possible, so I'm taking advantage of every possible avenue (yes I'm in desperation mode :oops:).

 

Attached is a link to a survey which only asks for a few minutes of your time. Your participation is needed and greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the quick replies. I have no idea who completed the survey, but a few minutes after I posted the link here, my count increased by 3. Thanks a bunch! Keep em' comin.  :clap:

You know what's a little strange to me; the people who talk the most about their ethnic heritage and take pride in it seem to be the most interested in people from other backgrounds. That's just from my own observations (living in the city).

Have you thought that maybe those people were just uninterested in YOU?  HA!

How is this strange? From my observations, I would argue the opposite. The people who you see flying ethnic and cultural flags, talking about their heritage, and attending ethnic parades seem to be less interested in people from other backgrounds. They seem more concerned with 'preserving' their own heritage rather than learning about and integrating with people from different backgrounds.

 

The survey on ethnicity was not my idea, although I created it. We had to create a survey where variables could be compared and analyzed. There are four people in our group; 3 of us being minorities, so the idea sort of just 'evolved'.

well I loved/hated how you asked the same question in 2 or 3 different ways.

Ahhh, you noticed. Lol

Thats what I do all day boo!

 

So when are we going to see the results of this survey?

Another big thanks to the UO members who have completed the survey. You guys are a big help! Seriously, thanks.

I think the questions don't fit the identities provided. The examples provided are racial classifications, not ethnic ones, I would argue - a couple are a mix of race and ethnicity.

I can see the results now. I'm not sure how long my group plans to collect data. It's funny how much to the "left" my results jumped when I posted the link on here. Definitely wasn't unexpected though.

 

UO and Facebook has saved my life!

Which?  what question(s)?

Yeah, I kind of thought the same thing after I looked at it a few times. My professor is pleased with the survey, and thought very highly of it, which is all I'm really concerned about right now. I'm just ready to be done with this project!

My bad MTS! I was skimming through the posts and just realized you said "we". Hopefully I can release the results on here once it is done-of course that will have to be cleared with my professor prior to doing that.

Damn Panamanians! 

^ Lol. You know we can't read. I'm still waiting for my other reading workbooks to come in the mail. Damn FedEx :whip:. Hurry up. HELP!!!

Message boards are terrible places to do accurate studies. People on this forum mostly love multiculturalism and diversity. Post a link on Stormfront and see how quickly the results change. That site is always good for a laugh.

^Numbers my friend, numbers. That's all I'm concerned about. If you "strongly disagree" with people of different backgrounds mingling together, or if you "strongly agree", it makes no differnce to me.

 

I'm assuming you participated.

 

If you did, thanks a lot!

Stormfront is a hoot.  They used to have a great Tolkein/Lord of the Rings subforum.  I was a member and posted there a bit, was really getting into that forum , but was booted for being too liberal.

 

They do see themselves in the terms of this survey, "white"  (by which they really mean European) being a sort of ethnicity. 

 

I usually dont use the term "ethnic" in reference to the categories in this survey, more in terms of ancestry ("ethnic" used to be shorthand for urban dwellers of eastern and southern European ancestry).
