For Mental Health Information
If you are 18 years of age or older and have experienced harassment on the internet, check out this opportunity to participate in an online research study.
***********
Are
you a person, 18 years old or over, who has experienced harassment on
the Internet? If so, we would appreciate your taking the time to
complete a survey.
Our
names are Dan Taube, Keely Kolmes and Colette Vogele, and we would like
to request your participation in our research on the experience of
online harassment. Being harassed online includes things like having
someone intrude into your privacy online, someone using the Internet or
mobile phone technology to harm your reputation, or someone stalking you
online. We want to learn about the kinds of experiences people have,
how they cope, and the resources they use to address the problem.
This study has been approved by the Institutional Review Board of Alliant International University.
As
a participant, we will ask you a number of multiple choice questions,
and some short answer questions, regarding your experiences of
harassment on the Internet. Next, we will ask you to give us information
about your age, sex, and similar things. It will take at most 15
minutes to finish the survey.
Your input may help in developing better services and resources for people who have experienced online harassment.
No
names or personal information will be linked to the study and your
participation will be completely anonymous so long as you do not put
your name in your responses. If you should wish to contact the
researchers directly, your participation may become confidential rather
than anonymous, although your name will not be linked to any of the data
you submit.
To be eligible for the study, you must be 18 or older, have had (or be currently having) an experience of online harassment, and be able to read and understand English.
