I would like, for the purposes of a research paper, to pose the following and gather as many answers as possible.
Please try and be honest. Of course, I understand that for some this is simply impossible.
Two Questions.
In Game: Do you live primarily in Hi Sec or lo/null?
IRL: At an intersection, as a pedestrian facing the "Do Not Walk" symbol, clearly seeing no traffic approaching, do you wait for "permission" in the form of the "Walk" symbol before proceeding to cross?
My stated hypothesis is that there is a general correlation.
Thanks!

What you say is indeed true, and has been taken into account. The responses make that easy enough within a given margin of error.
Also, this is hardly "scientific". It is a social exercise. Curiously accurate, as well.

Also people handle red lights differently. I.e. in Italy a red light is more a recommendation to stop than it is an order. And crossing a street in Rome can be dangerous regardless of the traffic lights. There will be many more countries where it is handled loosely by the people regardless of possible fines.
Me and my colleagues only wait if there is police nearby, or little children. (Nice comparison isn't it?)

1) highsec 2) wait
But as for me there is no correlation because of "risk aversion". In RL I wait because I want to follow the rules, not because I want to avoid risk. Also what risk would there be if there is no traffic going on as you said?
So I believe this RL example to be badly chosen for your study.

Following a rule, even when it makes no sense as there is no danger, *IS* risk avoidance.
It could even be said that conformity in general is risk avoidance. |

If you're at a crosswalk, and that light is blinking DON'T WALK, and you do walk...but, a policeman happens to SEE you, you're going to get a ticket, unless the cop is in an unusually good mood. WHY? It's against the LAW to disregard pedestrian traffic devices just like it's against the LAW to disregard automobile traffic devices.
So, if you really are so far into your education that you'd be trying to write a research paper, then you'd have to be astute enough on the most elementary level to understand you pose two sets of circumstances that are so divergent from one another that no information you might derive from responses to one could possibly inform upon the other.
One can readily assume (risk aversion in the title will out) you're trying to make a comparison between the two instances as though they're examples of "playing it safe." If you play hi sec, you're playing it safe. If you don't rush across the intersection against the traffic, ipso facto.
a. Obeying the law and being safe from being hit by a car don't reflect the same psychological motivation.
b. As playing in hi sec could have to do as much with how lucrative the specific system is, and the nature of the systems its related to, playing in hi sec doesn't in and of itself reflect "playing it safe."
That being said. I play in hi sec, and obey the laws of my community.

If I see no traffic at all, I don't even look at the lights. They're there to stop cars during busy hours to give pedestrians a chance to cross, standing there and staring at them when you can clearly cross freely is just stupid. |

What the hell kind of research is that?
It's not rocket science.
Find out if they live in null/low/hisec.
Ask a series of questions dealing what you think are components of the 'desire-for-safety' variable you seek.
Take these variables and find a reliable subset using Scale Reliability analysis (Chronbach's Alpha)
Place everyone on this scale and crosstab against the null/low/hisec question.
For the love of Pete...haphazard 'research' annoys me :) |

So far, in general, the thesis is proving true.
People who are bound by rules/duty/conformance tend to gather in low-risk, high-security
while
People who can think for themselves and make decisions based on available data without the need to be overseen tend to gather in the higher-risk, low-security areas.
There are always exceptions, but the GENERAL trend is as I surmised.
I'll take the whole mess one step further and assert that those so like minded also share common overt political beliefs.
The short short;
Some need to be taken care of
Some don't.
At the end of the day, those who need to be taken care of become a burden upon those who don't, often to the point of resentment.
Full extrapolation;
This is how societies get slaughtered.
Follow the logic. It is plain as day.
Hi-Sec carebears are food and fodder because they lack the intelligence to be otherwise, regardless of how haughty and pseudo intellectual they may position themselves.
CCP has indeed done their homework.

Hey! If you are young and haven't selected a career yet (in real life)...
Consider being a political pollster. Especially consider being one for the Republican Party.

1. low sec (can't get into high sec and Null is for people who wait for the green "walk" light). 2. I don't need no stinking light to tell me when to walk, I'm not from 0.0, I'll walk when I want.
What's that mummy, dinner is on the table?

So your research is trying to show a correlation between rl behaviour and in-game behviour? Very interesting, I'll find it surprising if people act in a similiar fashion in both "worlds."
IRL: I do take quite a lot of risks. I'll cross the road when it's not on a green light, but only if I can see that it's clear first (of course.) I wouldn't really consider it taking a risk, I'd consider it using my own judgement over the decision of an automated process. Crossing the road isn't a good example of risk-taking - expand it to a more general question. E.g. I take drugs & like to party in real life but always within my pre-determined sense of "reasonable." It's got me into a bit of trouble a few times but when the risk/consequences begin to outweigh the "fun" then I always stop - this applies to almost all aspects of my life.
In EVE: Low sec. I take risks fairly often but mostly only when I can afford the loss. It's just a game, when it comes to it I'd rather have fun than do autonomous tasks (there's enough of that IRL) so sometimes I just take stupid risks regardless of consequences.
So I suppose in my point of view there is no correlation between my IRL behaviour and EVE behaviour. IRL I'm relatively sensible & hardworking. In EVE I don't really care - I hate missioning or ANY grinding.
Good luck with your research - make sure you post the results. |

1] Mon-Thu: non-active days (aka Skill Queue Online)... docked in 0.5 training. Fri-Sun: active days... roaming 0.2 - 0.4
(Not sure how you will read that answer)
2] Pointless to wait when it's clear to cross. Just go. |

1: Both
2: I usually wait, primarily because...
It's illegal where I live (Jaywalking) and they WILL ticket you for it. I work/walk on a campus where I am asked to set a good example. Life is too enjoyable to be stressed about getting anywhere 30 seconds quicker.
If the laws were different in my area, then for the most part I wouldn't care. When I check troll in the dictionary, it has a photo shopped picture of you standing somewhere in the vicinity of a point.
Also, I can kill you with my brain. |
