Advertising for research participants

Tracii1

Hello,

My name is Tracii Ryan and I am a postgraduate research student at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia. I am currently undertaking a research project investigating problematic Facebook use among adult Internet users. In order to learn more about problematic Facebook use, I will soon be conducting an online survey asking participants about their Facebook usage.

I am writing to you to request permission to post a link to this survey on the Boards.ie forum, once the study has received approval from the RMIT University Human Research Ethics Committee (most likely April 2012). If you could let me know whether these sorts of posts are allowable according to the rules of this forum, I would be greatly appreciative.

Thank you for your time.

Kind regards,

Tracii Ryan

Hi Tracii,

Generally it's up to the moderator of the forum in which you wish to post your survey as to whether they will allow it or not. There are hundreds of forums on this site and your survey may only be relevant to a few of those. Get to know the site, select a forum you think may be suitable and then use the private message system to ask the moderators of that forum if they will allow the survey.

There's also this forum for surveys of this nature.
