Looking for help for a project on MMORPGs

Hello!
I am a PhD student at the University of Barcelona looking for participants for a research project about virtual identity. To summarize, we are studying how different people create different types of characters in MMORPGs, and how these relate to their personal identity.

We are looking for MMORPG players who are interested in participating by completing a brief survey and answering some questions in a follow-up online interview. If you have any inquiries regarding the study, I will be more than happy to explain. You can reach me at agabarnet@ub.edu

If you are interested in participating, you can start by completing the survey here:

    Since it's on qualtrics and I know their surveys are totally anonymous (since they're based here where I live), I'll be happy to complete it.

    [I don't have Discord available - my only connection here is satellite, and my one attempt at Discord was a disaster. Email is better for me for interview.]

    I have to say some of the phraseology of the questions limits the accuracy of the data, but presumably this will be clarified if/when the interview happens.
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.

    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis

    Thanks!! I propose discord by default, but I really can adapt to whatever platform the person chooses :)

    Some thing are clarified during the interview. The thing is, most of the questions cannot be changed in terms of wording, as with psychological measures it is important to use the exact same wording with which the measurement was validated by its authors as much as possible. Interestingly enough, you cannot even translate a psychological measurement questionnaire into another language without going through a whole new process of validating it (I mean... you can, but it's considered bad practice)

    I am familiar with the need for standardized questions; I've worked in market research, as part of my degree studies, I've taken research and statistics classes and I now work in psych.

    Data can only be as accurate as the questions - and I think that this is a lovely idea, but some of the questions inherently (and kind of severely) limited the information provided in the answers.
