Thesis Survey on empathy and languages...looking for participants!

Good Day/Afternoon/Evening,

 

My name is Brandon and I am an Organizational Psychology graduate student attending Adler university, Vancouver Campus. I am currently writing my thesis project on Multilingualism and empathy with the aim of discovering any observed evidence regarding the following hypothesis: Fluency in a foreign language has no relations to levels of empathy. I would like to invite any interested and willing participants from your organization specifically to see if they qualify for a 25-minute online survey.

 

This study requires individuals who

  • Native language is English
  • Aged 18 and over
  • Function at some level of fluency (Speaking, listening and reading) in a 2nd foreign language
  • Are willing to contribute to novel research in a growing field (Organizational Psychology)

 

I would like to point out to any ready and willing participants, that they should not feel obligated to complete the study if at any point they feel uncomfortable or uneasy about any questions.  As for the questionnaires themselves, one is a test called the Empathy Quotient which measures how empathic a person is and the other tests are speaking, writing, and listening self-evaluation yes/no questions with regards to fluency in another language. The time commitment required for the online questionnaire is approx. 25 mins or less.

 

Next Steps:

 

Eligible individuals who have read and understood thus far and are willing to participate can do so via this link

1 of 4 Empathy section= 67 questions

2 of 4 Listening Assessment section = 32 questions

3 of 4 Speaking Assessment section = 41 questions

4 of 4 Reading Assessment section = 26 questions

Total=166 questions (Total duration=Approx 25 mins or less)

If you have read thus far, you have my sincere thanks and I look forward to your response!

As I mentioned in my spiel, this is completely voluntary, there is a benefit involved for those who complete it AND it is the most interesting survey in the history of mankind. Perhaps you would like to try it and see for yourself.

If this isn’t the most optimal platform, kindly direct me to a better one as I don’t know any “research project” that would only need 12 questions. A thesis is much more rigorous and if it were so easy, everyone would be walking around with master degrees.

Thank you for your response!

As a research project you have to many questions in your survey and it takes to up a lot of people's time.

Please reduce your questionnaire to no more than 12 questions.
