Small Survey: Game Avatars and Social Psychology

[Purrfectstorm]

Have you considered problems with your survey such as convenience sampling and self-selection bias?

Took it. How could my character be superior than me?

He is a puppet I control... and is currently homeless, single, and last I checked couldn't commit to a single job.

-Oh and he only has one useful set of clothes at a time- I have a closet full of designer clothes, bags, jewelry... no way would I be stuck in one thing to wear.

-No thanks.

Well, the survey asks if I think my characther is better than me in appearance/personality...

On appearence, yes, personality no, it's the exact same personality as mine.

Some amateurish questions ... you need to step up your game if you want that paper to be any good.

Well that was kind of rude, but I guess that on par for the forums.

I liked the survey, it's digging for some very interesting nuggets about the human psyche and some of the comments here are telling hahaha... Good luck on your paper sweetie!

[Immut]

Anything for science.

Oh wait no, it's just psychology.

I thought this is like quiz to see your personality, but I realized this is a survey lol. Done btw.

...you don't treat your character very well, do you? ._.

Meo owns a house, has been married for years in ingame time, is an exceptional cook and also mastered any kind of magic and fighting style as a mere hobby.
She's a great interior decorator and also owns about 10 times more clothes than I'll ever have (and some are also way more rare and expensive than I'd ever bother to wear in RL) and has more friends than I'd even want to have.
She also saved the world a few times

Don't get me wrong, I'm content with my real life, but basically, she's "living the dream", something I'll probably never be able to do in that kind of way (anf frankly, don't want to xD).

I think another interesting question would have been, did you base your character's appearance/personality directly on yourself, or not (not feats because well...next time I kill a god IRL I'll let you all know). I know a few people who made their character just like them (I am not one of them, seems weird to be but that's my opinion).

Took it have fun writing that paper

Is my character superior to me? Not at all. Why? My character is a digital extension of myself. She is how I portray myself in a fantasy world.
