Re: A Hopefully Non-Sexist Survey
There are females on this forum, I presume.
What interests me more is why they are avoiding this post (or telling us they are men).
If I take this question any further I fear that this post will mysteriously vanish.

...apparenly we can't go with it or something.

Although if someone starts a separate joke thread, I will definitely contribute to it.

Yeah I think we shouldn't take this poll too seriously, however I would be interested in the actual true number of gender distribution not only here in off-topic, but the board as a whole and the mp server. But I guess we will never know...

My seven year old daughter plays, but is not likely to post in the forums.
Re: A Hopefully Non-Sexist Survey
Yeah, I've seemed to notice that in younger age groups the number of people who play video games and computer games is pretty even between the genders, but as they get older, and progress into the internet using age groups, the number of girls just tapers off for some reason.

Re: A Hopefully Non-Sexist Survey
Well according to a nation-wide survey my Social Survey teacher showed the class, while females generally performed about the same as males in math and computer-related activities, their self-confidence on how they had done was much lower than men's, especially for the the computer activites (women were about half as confidant as men in that category). As for exactly why this occurs, I have no idea, though there's probably some long in-depth essay about socialization from birth/peers/etc in relation to this somewhere.

Maybe they should do a scientific study to correlate testosterone level with the enjoyment of different types of video games.
I agree that this poll isn't very scientific since it is restricted to Off-Topic forum users.

You aren't suggesting that I clone/edit this poll into Users', are you?Sapient wrote:I agree that this poll isn't very scientific since it is restricted to Off-Topic forum users.
Are you suggesting that this poll should be really moved to Users'?
Are you suggesting that a new poll should be started in Users with cloned stats?
Are you suggesting that this poll should be moved to Users' and half of the posts/contents deleted?

Re: A Hopefully Non-Sexist Survey
No. I think this is right where it belongs in Off-Topic. Moving it to the User Forum would increase the participation level, but it would still have unscientific bias.shadowmaster wrote: You aren't suggesting that I clone/edit this poll into Users', are you?

Re: A Hopefully Non-Sexist Survey
How scientific did this poll turn out to be?

I suspect it was biased as well.

Re: A Hopefully Non-Sexist Survey
The only problem with that poll is that it covers a 6 year time spread now .

Re: A Hopefully Non-Sexist Survey
Easy! In any given web-poll where the sample volunteers its information is subject to the "volunteer effect" or "volunteer bias." In a nutshell, what volunteer bias means, is, since the individual chooses whether or not to participate in the survey or poll, the poll's results are skewed by whichever subsets of the population are more prone to participate. If people were to, by the poll, classify themselves as categories A, B, C, or D, whichever category was most prone to participate in the poll would skew themselves into appearing to be a larger portion than they are, whereas the categories less prone to participate int he poll would be counted as being a smaller portion than they are. In extreme cases this may even cause a vast minority to appear to be a vast majority(if members of the minority were avid participants in the poll, and members of the majority mostly avoided the poll altogether.)
