|

Hi everyone!
This is a follow-up post to my initial forum thread earlier this year regarding our video game use online survey.
Many thanks to all the gamers who have taken part in our survey so far - we have had an excellent response internationally to the project and some very constructive feedback from the gaming community.
We would just like to say that the survey remains open to any video game users who have not yet taken the survey.
For those of you who are new to the project, this is a large survey by the University of Sydney, Australia. We are investigating patterns of video game use, with a particular interest in the concept of excessive video game use.
If you’d like to take part, please follow the link below to our website:

(The survey can be found at the top right corner)
Alternatively, if you would like to learn more about our research, have a look at a recent interview with me by the Australian PC magazine ‘Atomic’:

Thanks again!

The results will be published in a medical journal once they have been analysed. We haven't commenced data analysis yet as the survey is still live. Unfortunately I can't reveal the results informally on web forums as one of the requirements for journal publication acceptance is that the results are not published elsewhere.
However I understand that most gamers may not read medical journals so I do hope to feed back to the gaming community with our findings via the popular media (most probably with Atomic magazine again).
