Notice: Cornell survey to study community norms and participation in r/AmItheAsshole
We are partnering with researchers from Cornell University on a survey that will help us understand the relationship between community norms, technology, and participation. As part of their recruitment process, they are messaging a random sample of people who have interacted with the community in different ways. You may have gotten a chat message from their bot, u/civilservantbot.
If you received a message and don’t want to participate, please feel free to ignore it. They will send one more reminder message on May 26th. You can ignore that too.
If you want to participate, the survey takes ~12 minutes to complete and will ask questions about your participation in r/AmItheAsshole, why you participate(d), your perception of its community norms, your experience with algorithmically generated content and recommender systems, and demographic questions. You will not be asked for personal identifiable information and your username cannot be connected to your survey responses.
If you want to participate but did not receive a message, there will be an opportunity in a couple days! The research team is waiting for all the messages to be sent to the random sample and will then open up participation to anyone.
If you have any questions about the study, please reach out to the lead researcher, [Dr. Sarah Gilbert](https://reddit.com/user/SarahAGilbert/) on Reddit via DM or email at sag284@cornell.edu.
If you are interested in participating but did not receive a message, Dr. Gilbert will be making a public post with the survey link in a few days, once the messages have all been sent.
