[casual_games] Seeking female casual-gamers for psych study on avid players

[Andrea Lewis]

Dear friends,

A few months ago I wrote to the list to ask for help in determining my
thesis topic and received a great deal of helpful responses and
subsequent conversations.  I appreciate the insight and knowledge and hope
for more feedback.

My topic will be focused on women (18+) casual-gamers who play casual games
frequently (daily or close to it) and who consider themselves to be
high-scorers or skillful.  Games like Wii games, any online or mobile games,
or even Facebook games would be interesting and relevant.

The data collection will last for 4 weeks and will be online only, so
participants can be located anywhere.  The data will consist of online
interviews (email or IM) and diary entries.

I look forward to any direct referrals and I can share more information
about the project.  The research has been approved by my university and
ethics committee and I can share information on my advisor who has done a
great deal of psychological research on gaming.

I am currently studying at Nottingham Trent University in the UK with
Dr Mark Griffiths, but I am from New York City and I have been working in
new media in the US for 10+ years.

I thank you very much and welcome all conversations.

Best,
