I am a PhD candidate at La Trobe University studying how online discussions about moral, social and political issues might have an effect on peoples’ views, attitudes and beliefs. I am focusing exclusively on Sup Forums, its users, and the views that are expressed on its boards.
So, obviously Sup Forums is a good place to start.
>Do you think spending time on Sup Forums altered your perspectives?
>If this prospect interests (or irritates) you, then you may find completing my anonymous questionnaire vaguely entertaining.
I have set up a website [OPhere.net] which has all the project details, a dedicated email address to contact me, and a link to the anonymous online questionnaire. I am hoping to organise some one-on-one interviews as well, so if you would prefer to skip the prompts and just tell me your views, please do not hesitate to contact me.
This research has been granted approval by the La Trobe University Human Ethics Committee. Reference No: E16-027
>TL;DR: PhD student wants to know your views on various social, political and moral issues.
