Progression of NurseLizzy’s Survey
Okay, here’s the deal. My survey started out as a 20 point questionnaire that I had foot guys on Fet email back to me. A couple people suggested Survey Monkey and then I just got a little out of control.
I have had two versions that I have posted.
The surveys have and will always remain completely anonymous. I do not even record IP addresses (that is an option). I provide a text box towards the end for anyone to volunteer contact information. That is optional and will always remain between you and I.
The first was completed by only those with a foot fetish and was completely foot fetish oriented. Out of the 1,239 people that started it, 836 finished it, leaving me with a 68% completion rate. Considering the length of that survey, and the technical difficulties that we ran into initially with launch, that’s a really awesome completion rate.
The second survey was created because a friend of mine who has a Masters in Research Methods convinced me (I already knew I should but didn’t want to lol) to let everyone take it, foot fetish or not. The idea was that I could have all the data I wanted on foot guys and girls but without a “control group” (people who do not have a foot fetish), I would have nothing to compare my data to. I was faced with a dilemma.
How do I get people who do not have a foot fetish to complete a survey that is primarily about foot fetishism?
I expanded my questions on kinks, added in a relationship and intimacy section, and went a little more in depth when it came to the demographics. After my friend reviewed it, I also changed the placement of a couple questions as to prevent survey bias. I tried words of encouragement at the bottom of each page and added in a progress bar (which I just recently realized only measured the progress in terms of pages, not completed questions). I also posted the link on my OkCupid dating account and several other locations on the internet. The completion rate on that survey is 41%, with 1,710 people completing it in full, out of the 4,149 that started it.
A 41% completion rate on a survey of nearly 200 questions that deal with some of the most intimate details of a person’s life is pretty amazing, especially when you take into account that half of those question deal with a fetish that not all of those respondents have.
Survey 3.0 has been updated and revised based upon suggestions by those that have taken previous surveys and others that offered their assistance. There was an issue with links but I have them set to open in new pages so that should be cleared up. I still suggest it be taken on a computer or laptop because while I haven’t had many people reporting the phones freezing anymore, there are still a few questions that leave an open text box for respondents to type their answers. Phones tend to deter a person from typing as much as they might should they have a standard keyboard in front of them.
Once I launch 3.0, I will be able to begin working on putting together the data from the first and second surveys. Considering there are thousands of data points and I am a nursing major, it will likely take some time for results.
When I initially made up my little 20 questions, I never anticipated what it has turned into. The first survey had loads of issues, and I changed and added in questions along the way. The second I really did my best to edit and make it complete before I launched that link. Some of you have taken both versions, a few others have taken one or the other several times. Those are things I will have to look at when compiling the data.
The first and second surveys were a learning process for me. I still view the information and data obtained within these surveys as fantastic but there are still many limitations to the information because of all the changes that were made along the way.
Survey 3.0 is the baby of one and two. I have taken all that I know and have learned and done my very best to make it as comprehensive, and respondent friendly of a survey as I can (considering its massive length), and done so in a manner to prevent survey bias.
The data from the first and second surveys will not be combined with the data from 3.0. What that means is that anyone interested in taking 3.0 can feel free to complete it regardless of whether or not they have previously taken one of my earlier surveys.
So by all means, when I announce the launch of 3.0, take it! But please give yourself the time you will need to complete it in full. I provide more than enough warning that it is a very long, time consuming survey that asks very private personal questions. Don’t start it if you don’t think you will finish it.
