Scuba Forum / General / February 2005Oregon State University Scuba Survey
A student at Oregon State University is doing a survey about scuba. If you have a few moments, your help with this survey would be greatly appreciated. It takes about two minutes to complete. The survey is online at: http://www.aj83.com/scuba.html Thank you >A student at Oregon State University is doing a survey about scuba.

Trojaned? I would understand the OSU very well if they rejected it on their servers. The survey has a lot of problems in it's design : * A strong tilt towards beginners, when you state you want to measure perseverance. * No way to establish control groups or to check significance in any way. * Lots of preconceived notions, like the "ranking" with divemaster at top. (Have you hugged your shark today). * Almost no attempts at quantifications. * Ambigous wording throughout. "Experienced", what do people actually mean when they say that. I have tried to do surveys myself, and find severe problems just getting a good fix on 1) the number of active divers 2) dive activity. And that is just the control group. -- mrr Hello, I am one of the students who created this survey. I would just like to inform you that this survey was created for an undergraduate course entitled recreation research methods. So, this is the first experience we have had creating a survey and doing research on this scale. This is definitely a learning experience for us, and we know are survey is not perfect. The results will only be used for our class and are not being published. Thanks to anyone who took the survey. > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > perfect.

So, you're not interested in learning to do surveys right? Children. Jesus...

And I am interested in learning to do surveys right, I have gotten many good suggestions on how to improve the survey, and will take them into consideration when reviewing our work. Also, as of tonight the *survey has ended* The results will be used for nothing more than our class.

But don't conclude from the rude comments of several people here that all divers are sociopaths. Rec.scuba just gets more than its share. gc
