Researchers looking for Interviewees!

[Daruin 6]

A few researchers and I are conducting a research paper on this forum and the Brony community (of course ,we're also Bronies as well, so it was pretty easy to get our professor's approval). We are currently in need of interviews for our research paper, so I thought it would be logical to post a topic on the subject.

We are looking for Interviewees whom are active on this site, over 18, and able to answer questions regarding Brony Culture and how bronies who are active in the community see themselves and others. We are doing this for a college course, yes, but we are still approaching it with all of the proper paperwork and discretion. Personal information or any information given during the interview will be used with discretion, and kept between the interviewer and the interviewee. No names will be used in the paper that could possibly link you to the research paper - all to protect your privacy, of course. We, the research team, will need to record the interview for our finalized research paper, and will keep all of your contributions confidential.

 

We are looking to establish answers to three questions:



What type of community is the brony community?



What do bronies see themselves as?



And what do Bronies view as deviant?



While three out of the four researchers on this project are Bronies, we're pretty quiet and less active in Brony communities. As such, we're not exactly sure how to explain the Brony Community, and lack the expertise and experience Bronies like you have.

 

We can only accept applicants above the age of 18(as per our professor's orders), and will disclose the documents we record to you to verify that you will allow them to be used in this research paper. We are simple researchers - we will make any change you feel is necissary to help you keep your contributions to yourself.


So what do you say? Want to take part in an epic research adventure?

If you wish to participate, please PM me or Futtershykit. We are looking forward to hearing from you!

This sounds awesome. I'd love to participate, but unfortunately I'm not yet 18. I'm 16, turning 17 in a little less than ten months. Good luck with your project, though!

Perfectly understandable. We may change our requirements for age, depending on our professor's approval. For now, however,  we have to keep a age limit simply because of a lack of information our professor has given us on this subject.
