Hey folks!
I have a 5-10 minute survey studying leadership behaviors among MMORPG players and would greatly appreciate your participation if you are 18 or older. No personal or identifying information is being collected, and once the study is done I'll share the overall results with the community.
Why?
I am a graduate student in industrial & organizational psychology (and a long time gamer/EVE denizen) and one of my research interests is leadership. I would like to see what links there might be between game and real world leadership and bring some academic love to MMORPGs in general.
The first page of the survey link has more information about the study as well as contact info if you have any questions.
Thanks for your help and fly safe!
PS: I am not associated with CCP in any capacity, but I thank them for their gracious assistance!

It's an interesting survey, and it's pretty well-done. If more surveys looked like that, maybe people would take time to do them?
P.S. Yes, I did finish it, and I think I learned something.

Done.
Bump for an interesting questionnaire about an interesting subject.
The outcome of good leadership is relatively easy to define, but working out all the different facets of leadership behaviour is a bugger.
I'd also say that some rl leaders can't be eve leaders as to be the latter you need a certain dedication and game knowledge.

Took the survey , but I don't see the point since I'm not quite in a leadership position in the real world  neither are most leaders in Eve , I assume...

VERY good survey.
IF any proper alliance/corp leader would score well on that first page and I could trust him to actually be that way, including most others in charge of that corp/alliance I might actually be inclined to join a 0.0 alliance again.
Till then, since I don't want to be used/backstabbed/milked I'll remain in high sec doing my own thing.

I was actually surprised at how different I answered the two pages. But then, I'm not in a leadership position out of EVE. |

I guess that the survey will show whether that is the case and provide a basis for conjecturing why that may be.
Anyway, I found it very interesting.  |

That's why people play MMORPG's, because you can be different from RL. In real life you can be hampered and held back from becoming what you can be. in MMO's the only one standing in your way to become good/important/influential is yourself. |

It's a good thing you make this poll, as you bring a certain awarness for this issue into the eve community.
Leadership skills are a key factor in success of corps or ops.
If i ever joined a corp again, the most important factor would not be size/location/onlinetimes/alliance/politics etc. but i'd look at their leaders and FCs and try to figure out whether they are skilled in leadership.

Thanks to everyone who has had a chance to take the survey so far (keep 'em coming!) and for the encouraging remarks!
One person pointed out they weren't in a leadership position. If you fall into that category (by definition, that's most people) I still need your info! It helps paint the broad picture of leadership in & out of MMORPGs.
Fun & exciting trivia: the average complete time is currently about 9 minutes.  |

Hey, somebody else from Claremont, albeit the Grad School. I went to CMC and just thought I'd say Hi. I'll do the survey when I have more time. |

Woohoo, go Claremont University Consortium! 
As for the links, I just checked them and they appear to be working, but this is my first time using QuestionPro so I am very interested to hear about it if anyone is having trouble with the survey.

I did one page, but using the format of askintg the same questions in a lengthy format for a second example of leadership made me lose interest. Leadership is leadership. Period. Its no different for me when I am leading a team of 42 scientists in the business world, or if i am leading a small team in EVE. (or a large alliance in DAOC).
I think your survey needs to be edited for length and made more cohesive.
Yes, space is big and, it's cold. |

The survey questions are nearly verbatim from surveys we do at my workplace about leadership.

yaizon- Good eye! You're probably using the MLQ at work, which is where those questions come from.
Regarding results, I'll share them when it's done. When that happens I'll post it in the forums, but since that might be easy to miss, I'll also have them up at http://www.lisk.net/research
I am acutely aware that the site sucks, but I wanted get something up there and I don't have much time to work on it. :) |

Done.
As I said in the comments at the end, probably a little too verbose. Especially considering the demographic you're trying to get responses from.

I added my info/data. I for one am extremely interested in things such as this, the way parallels can be drawn between RL and virtual experience/existance. |
