Hello Everyone. I just wanted to let you know. I have created a survey for my research topic on disboards and the friendships created. Please take time (if you'd like to) to fill out the survey. You can either post the answers back on here, send them in a message, or email me at jenausty@gmail.com. Either email with work. Please -if you email me- include your username. I do not need your real name, or any personal information. For privacy reasons I'm only going to use disboard usernames. If you have any questions- or don't understand them- please ask. I'll clarify. Also, the more information you give- the more helper it will be for my paper. so if I ask you a question and you want to add more to the answer- then yes or no- please do include it. Again, thanks for all that take part in my research.
Survey- This study focuses on the Social Penetration Theory and Media Ecology in Communication studies- if you are interested where my study is based.
1.What is the main reason you post on disboards? A. WDW vacation information B. Friendships created. C. To share my love of Disney World with other fellow Disney fans.
2.Do you feel comfortable disclosing personal information about yourself on disboards?
3.If yes, whats the deepest layer of disclosure (Choose a number or specify): 1. generalizations about yourself (college student etc), 2. Preferences (things you like, pets you have, sports), 3. Goals & Aspirations (life goals, your career goals), 4. Fears/Fantasies/Religious Convictions- Religious beliefs, abortion beliefs, what youre scared of, financial problems), 5.Concept of Self- your true self- basically you feel comfortable revealing everything about yourself.
a. Do you think it depends on the subjects and context? If you feel it varies and there are certain things you can talk about in deeper layers then others- please share.
4.Do you use any other blog/forum website as often at disboards to share reports and create friendships?
5.Do you feel that the friendships youve created on disboards are real friendships?
6.Do you feel a type of commitment or dependence with your friends on disboards? (Referring to the ones you associate with often). (For example, if its been a while and you havent been able to update your trip report or post on others reports- do you feel bad for not doing so, or feel like your neglecting those friendships?)
7.Do you feel the friendships created on the disboards are stronger than most blogs because of the core idea that brought us together (the love of Disney/Disney vacations)? (I know you all want to answer yes because we all love Disney, but please be serious with your answer.)
If I think of any other questions along the way- I will post them. Thanks again for your time- this is really creating a one of kind research paper and I'm extremely excited.
Once I have all your answers- I'll post the results at well.
