Social \ Video games research project
Kudos: 6
Mates: 0
My name is Dr Guy Porter, a clinical researcher based in Sydney, Australia. I am part of a team of researchers headed by Dr Vladan Starcevic, Associate Professor at the Discipline of Psychological Medicine, University of Sydney.
We are investigating patterns of video game use, both online and offline. Specifically, our project aims to determine the characteristics and impact of excessive video game use.
We are looking for video game users from all backgrounds and who play all types of video games to take part in an anonymous online survey.
This project is not for profit and has received ethics committee approval by The University of Sydney.
If you’d like to take part, please follow the link below to our website:

Alternatively, if you'd like to know more about our work beforehand, there is a recent interview with me by the Australian video game magazine 'Atomic'. Here is the link to the article:

Hi everyone and thanks for taking part in the survey!
No, we are not trying to link all of life's problems to video games - in fact we are well aware video games have many benefits. What we are investigating is excessive use of video games - characteristics and consequences.
So we are looking for a wide variety of video gamers to take part in order to get a broad picture.
Thanks again for your contribution!

I certainly hope we were of some help. I also hope that some people weren't cheeky and picked the most extreme answers.
