Participate in an on-line poker study

[Herrasmies]

Hello,

 

I write on behalf of a Finnish research team affiliated with the University of Helsinki. We're looking for poker players to participate in an on-line study about poker decision-making, poker playing experience, and emotion regulation. I kindly invite everyone even slightly interested to participate:

The survey is somewhat long, and it takes about 30-40 minutes. I understand well that this is longer than what Internet surveys typically take – your participation would thus be greatly appreciated. More information is provided on the page linked to above. The survey is in English, and therefore decent skills in English are required.

 

Our previously published academic articles of the same topic can be found at

Please feel free to advertise the survey link above. I wish all poker players the best!

 

P.S. This invitation was approved by Valterego (admin at pokerforum.nu)

took 45 min to fill in for me.

a bit tough english in some questions

would have been better to use four color deck to better descibe those questions that involved cards.

otherwise a nice and proffesional survey

thanks

Thank you for the feedback!

 

And thanks to those who have already filled the survey! Perhaps I should emphasize the fact that there are some interesting poker decision-making tasks in the survey also, which might make it worthwhile for those players who feel the length is too taxing

[Herrasmies]

Also, please feel free to post any comments (or critiques) that come to mind about this survey! All feedback is valuable.

I just did the survey, it was pretty fun. I thought the poker examples could have been done more realistic though.

 

Also, the typical question you often get about whether you try to win back lost money on another day. I think that is a pretty silly question, of course you have to try to win back money lost. (Doesn't matter if you are a problem gambler or not). Unless you decide to quit playing altogether...

It's somewhat hard to comment on your notion without giving too much away, so let's just say that I don't at all disagree with you .

Thanks to everyone who have filled the survey! Since we're aiming for a large sample size, there's still a way to go! We greatly appreciate anyone who can spare some time to help us out!

I apologise for bringing this post up again. We're about half-way there with the answers to our survey we need. The survey will be up for about 1-2 more weeks. Thanks again to those who have already filled the survey. We still need some more participants, though!

This is the final “bump” I'm posting: The survey will be closed in about 24 hours! Once again, thanks to everyone who took it, and for those who haven't: there's still some time! Thanks for your help and patience!
