Well, then this survey will have it's results very skewered, as I doubt that this kind of person would be an user to a forum like this one.
The so-called redundant questions are intentional. The subtle differences in the answers allow conclusions to be drawn. In psychosomatic clinics or rehabilitation clinics, there is an entry and exit survey. From about 50 questions there are up to ten questions that appear to be repetitive or redundant. This is to balance the effect of always answering what you think the questioner wants to hear.

Um... Were you showing us an example of a redundant answer? Since you've replied to two people with exactly the same reply word for word.
I wouldn't read too much into the questions themselves. The survey also appears to consist of several sub-surveys that measure self-confidence, depression, anxiety, etc. It's all pretty standard for these types of psych studies.
I have no idea.
Its pending. Im in contact. It will be very very key to the zoo community, this particular study.
and you're asking for it in a thread about a study? oO
I’m very interested to see what comes of this study.
might be a simple trick to gauge if you're paying attention and not just clicking through. likely also the same reason why many questions repeat with slightly different wording.
If you wanted to gather plenty of accurate data from people, I don't know why you would try to "trick" or test them. Seems counterproductive. I would try to make it as easy as possible for them to answer comfortably. But that's just how I see it.
This isn't a trick as so much a standard scientific research method to test data accuracy. As @nekdoneco123 mention above, this is partly to check that participants are paying attention and not screwing up the data by simply plugging in random answers.
This post seems very interesting as I'm New and would love to dive deeper into my sexuality but sady I'm straped from time so I'll be back later tonight to give this a go for !<3
yes i think so
From the short write up at the beginning, it looks like there are a number of things that they are trying to corelate with the 'zoosexual orientation'. Given this and the challenges in finding enough people who identify that way and will fill out their survey, I suspect that they are struggling to get a large enough sample size.
But is this the only website they have approached? ZV is big without question, but there is still a good number out there who don't come here regularly then there's other sites around the world that could provide a source of zoo participants, I have tried to let other zoos know on other places I hang out, to see if anyone else was interested, and on zooey.pub for example the survey did not seem to have been known about, but some people seemed very eager to participate once provided the link.
It's been some time, so I might miss, but I'd say you do not *need* to be involved with animals to participate. There are usually questions about it to position your profile correctly, so you can give it a try if you wish
