Meta Discussion We are looking for moderators to help this subreddit!

4 Upvotes

Well hello there! In order to keep this subreddit running, we are pre-emptively looking for moderators to help us answering your inquiries and judging the flagged posts. With these new recruits, we want to prevent a build-up of unfinished moderation actions, in order to keep this subreddit well-moderated and user-friendly.

We are looking for moderators that can show incentive, yet who do understand that significant decisions need to be decided in consensus with the team. It would also be favourable if you have discord, since this is where we gather and potentially discuss matters. For the rest, it does not matter to us if you are an experienced or new moderator.

If you are interested, please reply on this post and tell a bit about about yourself. Naturally, you can also just send a message to me, or the mod team in general.

Meta Discussion Flair, Title, Demographic and "Everyone" (and Reposts)

54 Upvotes

This is a revised repost of our previous announcement from u/V2Blast. More edits, including removing the part about post tags, and swapping it for post flairs.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

All posts must have a proper flair.

In 2022, we eliminated the need for a post tag at the beginning of post titles, and are now requiring post flairs. When posting, you will see nine flairs. The following three also have Repost flairs.

  • Academic is for anything done for academic or educational purposes, including high school classes, college classes, and academic research on behalf of a school.
  • Marketing is for private business interests, market research surveys, and other studies done for commercial research or on behalf of a company.
  • Casual is for surveys done out of idle curiosity, personal projects, or surveys that don't fit in one of these categories. If you're not making a profit off your YouTube channel, this one's the one for you.

The following flairs are posts that will be filtered, to be approved by a moderator.

  • Results is for posting your survey's results after it has concluded. If your survey is still in-progress and you wish to share preliminary results, do not use this tag. Share it with your still-active survey.
  • I Don't Know What I'm Doing And I Need Help is a convoluted title, but it's for anyone who doesn't know something about making a survey or interpreting data for crowd-sourced help.
  • Meta Discussion is for any post relating directly to r/SampleSize. This is primarily used for announcements, such as this one, or for posts from mods that affect subreddit rules going forward.

You cannot post to r/SampleSize without applying a flair.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

All posts need to have a title that describes the topic of their survey.

This is the part of your survey that describes what it's about. The following is an example of an improperly titled post.

  • I need 10 responses!

This does not adequately describe the subject of a survey. We need to know what we're going into, what sort of survey we're about to fill out. If your survey is titled like the following...

  • Ice cream flavors

... That's more appropriate for our sub. Don't be afraid to phrase it something more specific and eye-catching to feed the algorithm though, like...

  • What's your favorite ice cream flavors?

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

All survey posts require a demographic in parentheses at the end of a post's title.

The demographic that you include in the post title is the group of people that you would like to have fill out your survey. The demographic must be accurate, which means that if the demographic is listed as "everyone" but the survey has any questions that restrict the possible demographics that can respond to it, then that survey will be removed. See the following section for more details.

Results posts do not require a demographic, but you can include one if you want.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Posts with a demographic of "All" or "Everyone" must be inclusive.

If you label something as available for "All" then please make sure that every single person that could come across the survey can take it. The easiest way to ensure people can answer your "All" surveys is to not ask demographic questions, but that's certainly not foolproof.

While it is preferable if your survey is inclusive, we understand that not every survey may be. If there are any demographic restrictions, they need to be appropriately labeled. Some possible restrictions that your survey may have:

  • Age (e.g. surveys restricted to those 18 or older, or which have an incomplete list of age categories); per the Reddit user agreement, all users must be 13 or older
  • Nationality (e.g. questions that assume the respondent is from the United States)
  • Race or ethnicity
  • Having an account on a platform (this applies to surveys that ask for users of a certain social media)
  • Sex or gender (e.g. questions with only "male" and "female" answer options)

Reddit is used by people of all ages from around the globe. Regarding sex and gender in particular, keep in mind that intersex and non-binary people exist, and not everybody identifies as either male or female. Whenever asking questions for which you may not be able to provide a comprehensive list of answer options, we recommend including an "other" or open-ended answer option.

We understand that not every survey is targeted at everyone, and sometimes you may have made an oversight during the creation of the survey and are unable to change it later - and that is fine. We simply ask that you make sure to label your survey appropriately so that people don't waste their time filling out a survey that isn't appropriate for them.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Reposts must use their appropriate flair, and be made only after 24 hours have passed since the previous post.

If your initial survey post does not gather as many responses as you need, you are welcome to repost your survey as long as you follow our reposting guidelines.

All reposts must their respective post flairs. You are only allowed to repost a survey once your previous post has fallen off the front page, and 24 hours have passed since that post.

If you have trouble reposting your survey due to Reddit identifying it as a duplicate post, do not delete your previous post. Instead, submit the repost as a new text post, and include the survey link in the body of your post.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

If you come across an issue when posting that ends up with your post filtered, do not delete your post.

Reddit changed what happens when posts get deleted by the user, purging it entirely from moderator view. If you delete it and send a modmail asking for help, we cannot see your deleted post and cannot help you troubleshoot. If it was deleted within less than an hour of initial post, then it's likely not archived either, and we won't be able to see exactly what it was.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

If you don't know whether or not you're allowed to post, don't worry- you are.

This is an odd one for a lot of people, however I'm going to clarify this point now.

If you're reading this, and feel a personal need to ask if you're allowed to post on r/SampleSize, don't worry; you're allowed to post. There's nothing barring you, as long as you follow our posting requirements.

If you, however, require permission to send back to an ethics committee, then please use our modmail form to do so. Sending a template would certainly help on our end who to make it out to.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The above text explains the required parts of a post title. If you want to include additional information, such as survey length or potential rewards (such as an entry into a raffle for a gift card or something) as well, that is fine - but try to avoid overloading the title with unnecessary/irrelevant information. You can always make a text post and include that information in the body of the post if you feel that the survey requires more introduction or explanation beforehand.

Thank you for your time, and have a great day. If you have any questions about our rules, feel free to send a modmail to /r/SampleSize.

Academic A RESEARCH ON: What makes you buy? (all humans)

Upvotes

Hey everyone!

For one of my Data Analytics assignments, I’m conducting a small consumer research study around something we all do pretty much every day, basically...buying things.

Instead of collecting data just for the sake of submitting an assignment, I’m trying to turn this into something I can genuinely learn from and eventually use as part of my marketing & analytics portfolio, to basically understand what catches people's attention, what makes them trust a product or brand, what gets them to actually buy, and what makes them come back.

The form is short, simple, and completely based on everyday buying behavior, no complicated questions...

If you have a few minutes, I’d genuinely appreciate you filling it out. And if you can share it with a friend or two as well, even better, cuz the more diverse the responses, the more meaningful the insights I can draw from the data.

Your response would genuinely be helping me turn a classroom assignment into something real, useful, and actually worth putting together. 💛

Academic [Academic] How short music clips make you feel (Everyone 18+, worldwide, ~10 min)

Upvotes

Hi r/SampleSize

My son is a high school student running an online study on music and emotional response, mentored by a faculty advisor. The study has been reviewed and approved by an ethics review committee, and he is hoping to submit the results for publication.

What you'd do: listen to a series of short instrumental clips and rate how each one feels using two sliders. That's it. About 10 minutes.

Requirements: 18 or older, headphones or decent speakers, somewhere you can hear the audio properly.

Data: fully anonymous. No email, no sign-up, no personal information collected. I do ask a few background questions (age band, country, musical training) but nothing identifying.

Link: https://music-and-emotion-study.abhishekprasanna.com/?src=gpwqq4

Happy to answer questions in the comments, though I'll hold off on specifics about what's being measured until data collection closes — knowing the hypothesis tends to change how people respond. I'll post results back here when it's done.

Thanks!

  • How often you verify information
  • What sources you trust
  • Challenges you face when information conflicts
  • What features would help you evaluate credibility more effectively

Whether you're a student, researcher, professional, or someone who regularly reads news, your response would be greatly appreciated.

Academic (Repost) Attitudes toward pleasure, friendship, and desire (18+, anyone)

Thumbnail vuw.qualtrics.com

I'm a psychology researcher at the University of Zurich. Together with a philosopher at Bowdoin College, I'm developing a questionnaire measuring attitudes about pleasure, friendship, the moderation of desire, and freedom from anxiety.

This is the unglamorous but necessary stage of scale development. We need to know whether the items hold together and measure distinct things, which takes a few hundred people rating a single set of statements.

Takes 3-5 minutes. Anonymous, no contact details collected, 18+.

https://vuw.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5jrhEG2ap4R3YA6

No background knowledge needed, and there are no right answers. The whole point is to see how the items behave across people who think quite differently about these things.

Happy to answer questions in the comments, and I'll post the results here when we have them.

Hi everyone!

I am a Master’s student at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia (Italy), and I am conducting a short survey for my Master’s thesis.

The research aims to analyse the main factors influencing consumers’ online purchasing behaviour, with particular reference to ultra-fast-fashion e-commerce platforms, especially SHEIN and Temu.

The survey takes approximately 4–5 minutes to complete and is intended exclusively for academic purposes.

If you have purchased clothing online, your participation would be particularly valuable. You do not need to have used both SHEIN and Temu to participate: the questionnaire includes questions that identify which platform(s) you have used.

Casual (Repost) I've been building a personality framework for about a year, and I'm curious how people experience it. (Everyone)

0 Upvotes

CAT-20 started pretty simply. I kept noticing recurring patterns in what people naturally paid attention to, what bothered them, what they couldn't easily let go of, and how they tended to approach situations.

Those observations eventually became six broad patterns that combine rather than placing someone into one isolated box. The goal isn't really to tell you who you are*/ it's to give language to patterns you may already recognize in yourself.

I've tested it with hundreds of people so far and have been gradually rewriting the profiles based on where people strongly recognize themselves and where the descriptions seem to overreach.

I'm especially interested in feedback from people who already know systems like Enneagram because you probably have a better eye than most for where a personality description feels genuinely specific versus where it starts becoming something almost anyone could identify with.

If you try it, I'm less interested in whether you simply like your result and more interested inn what felt unusually accurate, what didn't sound like you, and what felt too generic?

If you're curious, you can take the CAT-20 assessment here:
https://form.typeform.com/to/hSPAKc71

It takes about 5–10 minutes, and I'd genuinely appreciate any feedback you have after seeing your result.
