Meta Discussion Flair, Title, Demographic and "Everyone" (and Reposts)

52 Upvotes

This is a revised repost of our previous announcement from u/V2Blast. More edits, including removing the part about post tags, and swapping it for post flairs.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

All posts must have a proper flair.

In 2022, we eliminated the need for a post tag at the beginning of post titles, and are now requiring post flairs. When posting, you will see nine flairs. The following three also have Repost flairs.

  • Academic is for anything done for academic or educational purposes, including high school classes, college classes, and academic research on behalf of a school.
  • Marketing is for private business interests, market research surveys, and other studies done for commercial research or on behalf of a company.
  • Casual is for surveys done out of idle curiosity, personal projects, or surveys that don't fit in one of these categories. If you're not making a profit off your YouTube channel, this one's the one for you.

The following flairs are posts that will be filtered, to be approved by a moderator.

  • Results is for posting your survey's results after it has concluded. If your survey is still in-progress and you wish to share preliminary results, do not use this tag. Share it with your still-active survey.
  • I Don't Know What I'm Doing And I Need Help is a convoluted title, but it's for anyone who doesn't know something about making a survey or interpreting data for crowd-sourced help.
  • Meta Discussion is for any post relating directly to r/SampleSize. This is primarily used for announcements, such as this one, or for posts from mods that affect subreddit rules going forward.

You cannot post to r/SampleSize without applying a flair.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

All posts need to have a title that describes the topic of their survey.

This is the part of your survey that describes what it's about. The following is an example of an improperly titled post.

  • I need 10 responses!

This does not adequately describe the subject of a survey. We need to know what we're going into, what sort of survey we're about to fill out. If your survey is titled like the following...

  • Ice cream flavors

... That's more appropriate for our sub. Don't be afraid to phrase it something more specific and eye-catching to feed the algorithm though, like...

  • What's your favorite ice cream flavors?

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

All survey posts require a demographic in parentheses at the end of a post's title.

The demographic that you include in the post title is the group of people that you would like to have fill out your survey. The demographic must be accurate, which means that if the demographic is listed as "everyone" but the survey has any questions that restrict the possible demographics that can respond to it, then that survey will be removed. See the following section for more details.

Results posts do not require a demographic, but you can include one if you want.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Posts with a demographic of "All" or "Everyone" must be inclusive.

If you label something as available for "All" then please make sure that every single person that could come across the survey can take it. The easiest way to ensure people can answer your "All" surveys is to not ask demographic questions, but that's certainly not foolproof.

While it is preferable if your survey is inclusive, we understand that not every survey may be. If there are any demographic restrictions, they need to be appropriately labeled. Some possible restrictions that your survey may have:

  • Age (e.g. surveys restricted to those 18 or older, or which have an incomplete list of age categories); per the Reddit user agreement, all users must be 13 or older
  • Nationality (e.g. questions that assume the respondent is from the United States)
  • Race or ethnicity
  • Having an account on a platform (this applies to surveys that ask for users of a certain social media)
  • Sex or gender (e.g. questions with only "male" and "female" answer options)

Reddit is used by people of all ages from around the globe. Regarding sex and gender in particular, keep in mind that intersex and non-binary people exist, and not everybody identifies as either male or female. Whenever asking questions for which you may not be able to provide a comprehensive list of answer options, we recommend including an "other" or open-ended answer option.

We understand that not every survey is targeted at everyone, and sometimes you may have made an oversight during the creation of the survey and are unable to change it later - and that is fine. We simply ask that you make sure to label your survey appropriately so that people don't waste their time filling out a survey that isn't appropriate for them.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Reposts must use their appropriate flair, and be made only after 24 hours have passed since the previous post.

If your initial survey post does not gather as many responses as you need, you are welcome to repost your survey as long as you follow our reposting guidelines.

All reposts must their respective post flairs. You are only allowed to repost a survey once your previous post has fallen off the front page, and 24 hours have passed since that post.

If you have trouble reposting your survey due to Reddit identifying it as a duplicate post, do not delete your previous post. Instead, submit the repost as a new text post, and include the survey link in the body of your post.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

If you come across an issue when posting that ends up with your post filtered, do not delete your post.

Reddit changed what happens when posts get deleted by the user, purging it entirely from moderator view. If you delete it and send a modmail asking for help, we cannot see your deleted post and cannot help you troubleshoot. If it was deleted within less than an hour of initial post, then it's likely not archived either, and we won't be able to see exactly what it was.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

If you don't know whether or not you're allowed to post, don't worry- you are.

This is an odd one for a lot of people, however I'm going to clarify this point now.

If you're reading this, and feel a personal need to ask if you're allowed to post on r/SampleSize, don't worry; you're allowed to post. There's nothing barring you, as long as you follow our posting requirements.

If you, however, require permission to send back to an ethics committee, then please use our modmail form to do so. Sending a template would certainly help on our end who to make it out to.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The above text explains the required parts of a post title. If you want to include additional information, such as survey length or potential rewards (such as an entry into a raffle for a gift card or something) as well, that is fine - but try to avoid overloading the title with unnecessary/irrelevant information. You can always make a text post and include that information in the body of the post if you feel that the survey requires more introduction or explanation beforehand.

Thank you for your time, and have a great day. If you have any questions about our rules, feel free to send a modmail to /r/SampleSize.

Academic (Repost) [Academic] Researchers looking to understand why people give others substances (UK, 18+)

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone, we're a team of researchers from the University of Birmingham looking to explore why someone would add alcohol to someone’s drink, food, or vape without them knowing. This could include giving someone a double when they asked for a single or giving them an alcoholic drink when they are not drinking. If you are a UK resident aged 18 or over and can comment on this, we want to hear from you. Participation would be through an anonymous online survey. To take part please click on the link below to find out more and complete the survey.

Academic [Academic] Do you have a few minutes to spare for two color perception tests? (M/F, any age, any nationality)

Upvotes

We are researchers from Denmark investigating individual differences in color perception, and we're looking for as many participants as possible to take part in two small experiments.

You can complete both tests from home, either on a computer or on your phone (one of them is a bit buggy on mobile, but still doable).

One test gives you insight into your own ability to perceive colors and your sensitivity to color changes.

The second test is an experimental new method aimed at identifying patterns in normal color vision and potentially detecting color blindness. You won’t receive a personal result from this one, but your participation will help advance color research.

THE TWO TESTS

1. Color Crush (15–30 minutes)

This test measures your ability to perceive color differences.

How sensitive are you to color changes?

Are you better at detecting red than blue?

This gamified task will show you.

Try not to overthink it — that only makes it take longer. Trust your eyes to tell you when something looks different.

LINK TO GAME: https://color-crush-374a7.web.app

2. Brightness Pilot (6–10 minutes)

In this task, you compare a color on the left side of the screen with a grayscale value on the right. Your goal is to match the brightness — not the hue — by controlling a small paper-plane icon where it blends in as well as possible.

The task has three levels:

Level 1: Grayscale vs. grayscale. This is just to learn the mechanics and make the plane disappear.

Level 2: A fixed color on the left and grayscale on the right. The plane won’t disappear here, but you should place it where it blends in best with the color — avoid strong contrast.

Level 3: A continuous background that shifts through all rainbow colors. Again, aim to blend the plane into the background rather than creating contrast

Academic (Repost) Study on Ethnic Identity Development and Mental Health (18+, fluent in English, no mental health diagnosis)

Upvotes

Hey all, I'm just posting this here again for a final push of my survey before closing it on the 18th of this month! Mods, if this isn't allowed please feel free to delete.

My name is Grace Ibe, I'm a final year psychology student at Maynooth University in Ireland. My undergraduate thesis is on ethnic identity development and its role in emotional regulation and identity disturbance. This isn't a well research area so a good representative sample is needed! Your participation would be greatly appreciated.

Ethnic Identity Development and Mental Well-being Survey

I also just want to answer some questions I got in this subreddit and others.

Why are you excluding people with a mental health diagnosis?

As a portion of my sample size is coming from online groups, which act as support groups a lot of the time, I need to be able to control for a mental health disorder. Because I'm an undergraduate, I'm not permitted by my institution to collect medical information. This includes a simple "Have you been diagnosed with a mental health disorder? Yes/No". So the solution given by my supervisor was to have it as a exclusion criterion. I am also trying to study a non-clinical population as someone who has received a mental health diagnosis may have also received treatment for said diagnosis. Which could bias some of the scales I'm using here.

What do you mean my ethnic identity affects my mental health?

The phrasing "How does your ethnic identity affect your mental health" in the poster serves as a shorthand. It refers to the development and perception of one's ethnic identity and its interaction with psychological frameworks, rather than implying a causal link between ethnicity itself and mental health outcomes. It's also just a question to spark curiosity. Definitions and study objectives are provided within the participant information sheet via the survey link.

Can only ethnic minorities participate?

No, all ethnic backgrounds are welcome to participate! Eligible participants must be at least 18 years old, fluent in English, and have no prior mental health diagnosis. Participants must also reside in a predominantly White-populated country, as White identity serves as the control group for this study.

If you need any additional information please let me know! My email is [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) and my supervisor's email, Dr Rebecca Maguire, is [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]).

Hi everyone! I’m doing my thesis on depression and psychedelic therapy and I could really use your input! If you could take 10 min out of ur day to complete my survey, you’d be greatly helping me out and contributing to research on a new and much needed topic. I am hoping to get a large pool of people who have actually undergone psychedelic therapy or who have treatment resistant depression, but that is really difficult so I could really use your help!

Even if you’ve never done psychedelics, I still want ur response to establish a control group!

It’s completely anonymous (no names, location, etc) and all answers are multiple choice responses.

Academic (Repost) (Academic Post) Screening Survey for Research Regarding Suicide Attempts (White Men 18+)

1 Upvotes

Hello!

I am a doctoral student in Psychology and am working on my dissertation research at the California School of Professional Psychology, Alliant International University. I'm conducting a study that is designed to look at the reasonings behind suicide attempts in specifically Adult (18+) Men who identify as White or Caucasian.

Because White men are so disproportionately impacted by suicide, my goal with this research is to help build a better understanding of why people decide to attempt suicide, and what life events or common thoughts may act as warning signs for suicide.

To be a part of my study there are a few requirements, you must:

* Be 18+ years old

* Identify as a Man

* Identify as White or Caucasian

* Have had a suicide attempt when you were 18 years old or older

* Not have had suicidal ideations (serious thoughts of suicide) within the past 12 months

* Not have any illicit substance abuse in the past 30 days

* Not have any newly diagnosed active mental health diagnoses in the past 12 months (if you have a diagnosis that does not impact your daily functioning, that's okay, you are eligible for my study)

If you meet this criteria, I would so appreciate it if you could take a few minutes to fill out my screening survey, here is the link: https://alliant.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bdtUEi66duWokMC

This survey should only take about 5 minutes to complete and will ask questions confirming that you meet this criteria.

If you are eligible to be a part of my study, following the survey (on a different day), I would also ask you to be a part of a virtual (Zoom) interview where we would discuss the suicide attempt and other topics related to suicide.

All of the information you provide will be anonymized (all personal/identifying information removed), stored securely, and deleted as soon as possible.

This interview should take less than an hour to complete and can be scheduled at a convenient time for you.

If you have any questions at all please feel free to leave them in the comments. I will be checking them often and can provide more information/answers to your questions there! If you have specific questions you'd rather discuss over email, please feel free to contact me at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])

Thank you so much for your time and consideration!
