INTRODUCTION

 
7% of survey complete.
This project is being undertaken as part of a PhD study for Alexander Baldwin.

The purpose of this project is to investigate certain multiplayer video game features intended to improve the player experience through seeking the opinion and input of multiplayer game players of all skill and experience levels.

You are invited to participate in this project because you have played at least one multiplayer video game.


PARTICIPATION
Your participation in this project is entirely voluntary. If you do agree to participate, you can withdraw from the project by closing the online survey before the survey responses are submitted upon completion of all questions without comment or penalty. Upon closing the survey prior to completion, all question responses and any identifiable information already obtained from you will be destroyed. Your decision to participate, or not participate, will in no way impact upon your current or future relationship with QUT (for example your grades).

As your responses will be anonymous, once the survey is submitted upon completion of all questions participation will not be able to be withdrawn.

If you agree to participate you do not have to complete any question(s) that you are uncomfortable answering. If you are uncomfortable answering a question marked as requiring an answer, please exit the survey and your responses will not be submitted.


EXPECTED BENEFITS
It is expected that this project will not directly benefit you. However, it may benefit you indirectly as the research will lead to the production of more enjoyable multiplayer video games.

To recognise your contribution, should you choose to participate, the research team is offering participants located in Australia the chance to win a $100 JB HiFi voucher. At the end of the survey you will have the option to enter this prize draw by supplying a contact email address.


RISKS
There are no risks beyond normal day-to-day living associated with your participation in this project.


PRIVACY AND CONFIDENTIALITY
All comments and responses are anonymous and will be treated confidentially. The names of individual persons are not required in any of the responses.

Any data collected as part of this project will be stored securely as per QUT’s Management of research data policy.
