| quote: | For a course at school, which I cant translate in any way, I have to make a 60 pages long assignment with two fellow students. We decided to compare 3 genres and their subcultures.
I wanted to know specifically if trance music has any characteristic effect on behavior and state of mind. Please try to be honest in answering these questions, as it is quite a big assignment to handle. I apologize if any major spelling mistakes are made in this questionnaire, but as you might have noticed English is not my mother tongue.
Last but not least, I want to thank all of you for helping me. This is of course much appreciated.

it sounds like you're just trying to do the easiest thing
given the way you've done the questions, mainly the fact that you are limiting the responses so much to very complex questions like
"Why do you go to such a party/rave/concert"
and then including answers that are themselves very ambiguous and polysemous tells me that you're going to get useless, hypersimplfied data tainted by the questionnaire itself, and then you're going to use this oversimplified data and pass it off as some kind of fact.
'music only' 'atmosphere' - how is music able to be separated from atmosphere, for instance?
also let's say you get one person that reponds from bulgaria and then this person lists that they are 19 years old, among other things.
are you going to assume all people in bulgaria are 19 years old?
similarly, you can't really make conclusions with the other data. i mean we all know people can be 19 years old, but people that aren't familiar with scenes covered in your poll might make assumptions out of ignorance.
so basically I think you need a larger sample size for this poll, and you're not going to get it with several questions that aren't very interesting. I would recommend focusing on something that would give you a more piercing study of a specific phenomenon related to the topic
also the basic idea of 'genre' in this poll is extremely regressive. very few people listen to a specific genre like the way people only buy toyotas or only eat general mills cereal.
in any case ill help you out and answer your questions |
