Academic Survey (18+): Individual Personality Traits & Online Subcultures
Hi there!
My name is Zac and I am a current psychology honours student at Federation University Australia.
The moderators have allowed me to share a research project looking at how individual personality traits interact with short-form social media feeds (specifically simulating TikTok content exploring modern online subcultures and societal dynamics).
Who can participate:
Open to anyone over the age of 18 who is fluent in English. Note: Although participation is globally permitted, the majority of participants will be recruited from within Australia.
What’s involved:
A 20-30 minute interactive study where you will complete a few personality measures and watch a simulated 15 video feed (some of which may include potentially confronting or offensive content related to social and political issues).
The Link:

Incentive:
Participants can choose to enter an optional prize draw to win one of two $20 (aud) Prezzee gift vouchers to a store of your choice!
Upon completion (around end of November 2026), I will share the results and key findings from the study.
If there are any questions about the study itself, please ask away!
Participation is voluntary and completely anonymous.
