FFXIV Research

[Mitsoangel89]

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)

(cont.) I will not record any information that identifies players and all recorded data will be destroyed at the conclusion of this study. Participation in this study is voluntary and you may withdraw at any time. If you withdraw from the study, you may request that you information is not used in the study. If you have any questions or concerns, you may send an e-mail to twuffxiv@gmail.com with specific questions and concerns about this study – this is an account not associated with anyone other than the researcher. There is a potential risk of loss of confidentiality in all email, downloading, electronic meetings, and internet transactions. I will be posting this request to several different forums, so please only respond to this request once. I didn’t see any explicit rules regarding these kinds of posts, but if there is one that I missed or if the moderators for these forums would be willing to work with me to address any concerns, I would very much appreciate it. Thank you so much.

I would suggest posting this in a different subforum. This subforum is meant for healer related topics only.
