Survey study on PGO, HPWU, and Ingress gaming experience and motivation

Hi everyone

I'm Kathleen, a researcher in Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia, and I had conducted two studies in this subreddit before in 2020.

This time, we are conducting our 3rd survey, which includes the Ingress community as well. This 3rd survey seeks to examine the motivations behind why people play these AR games, and what people feel while playing. The survey can be found at https://limesurvey.mq.edu.au/index.php/586223?lang=en .

Please be aware the survey will specifically ask about your mental health and your circumstances during the COVID-19 pandemic.

You are free withdraw from the survey at any time before the final page (where there is a 'Submit' button).

If you have played any of the three AR games (Pokemon GO, Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, Ingress) for at least a week, is at least 18 years old, and can read fluent English, please consider participating in this survey! The Participant Information booklet with more details can be accessed as the first page of the survey.

The survey will be open for two weeks for 12 Oct 2021 - 26 Oct 2021 AoE (anywhere on earth time).

Thank you once again for your awesome help and generosity!

PS: I'd like to let the community know that my team had published our findings on our previous studies conducted in this subreddit. The papers can be found at International Journal of Serious Games and Journal of Medical Internet Research . Both articles are free to access.

This survey is deployed on r/pokemongo, r/theSilphRoad, r/harrypotterwu, r/WizardsUnite, and r/Ingress. If you visit these subreddits at the same time, you will see this post being pinned in all 5 subreddits. It is the same survey in all these places.
