Video games research project

[gporter333]

My name is Dr Guy Porter, a clinical researcher based in Sydney, Australia. I am part of a team of researchers headed by Dr Vladan Starcevic, Associate Professor at the Discipline of Psychological Medicine, University of Sydney.

We are investigating patterns of video game use, both online and offline. Specifically, our project aims to determine the characteristics and impact of excessive video game use.

We are looking for video game users from all backgrounds and who play all types of video games to take part in an anonymous online survey.

This project is not for profit and has received ethics committee approval by The University of Sydney.

If you’d like to take part, please follow the link below to our website:

(The survey can be found at the top right corner)

Alternatively, if you would like to learn more about our research, have a look at a recent interview with me by the Australian PC magazine ‘Atomic’:

Re: Video games research project

This is a legitimate research and these links are safe. The first link is to the university clinical school website and the second is to the Atomic PC magazine website. No trojans or viruses here!

That said, participation in the survey is entirely voluntary and if you feel uncomfortable about it there is no obligation to take part. If you have specific doubts or concerns you can email A/Prof.Starcevic our senior investigator at: [email protected]

Hope this helps!
