Hi everyone,
I am posting this recruitment flyer on behalf of a friend of mine, who is not a member of this forum:

I am a researcher interested in reward systems and group behavior. I am writing to ask your help in completing my master’s thesis at Texas Woman's University. I am studying the commendation system available to players of Final Fantasy XIV and I am interested in the likelihood of avatar gender differences in how these commendations are given out. All you need to do to help me complete my study is to simply post the total number of commendations you have received for your primary character as it is listed on this forum. For those who comment, I will also record information listed on the profiles of your avatars as they are listed on the Lodestone character search engine. I will be recording information on displayed class, presence in a free company, and avatar gender. (continued)
