今天收到 Li Dan MM 的电子邮件，她在学“大众传媒”，最近在做一个研究调查，目的是调查 Bloggers 发布网络日志的动机、用途和满意度,所以要求我协助她完成她的调查表。这看来是一件非常有意义的事情。她的调查在这个星期六结束，为了让她的调查数据更充分，所以我也来帮她发动更多的blogger来协助她完成此项调查。如果您认为您是一名 Blogger，并且希望了解BLOG这种“个人新闻台”在更多人眼中是什么样的一件事物，请来协助 Li Dan MM 完成调查。总共有114个问题哦，我是借助 《金山词霸２００３》 才填完表格[smile] 。

如果您对 Li Dan 的调查结果感兴趣，请在星期六(2004年12月18日)之后向 LiDan 索取调查结果。
I am conducing a pilot study for my graduate course COMM 203 Quantative Research Method in Communiction. I composed a survey aiming to examine bloggers' motives, uses, and gratifications. The questionnaire is composed of 114 questions (I know it sounds crazy and overwhelming but I do need enough data to do a factor analysis) and might take 20 minutes to finish it. You participation is of great importance to me. The survey is located at http://www.lidan.net/survey.html
The study is more explorary than explanary. Due to the limitation of time and energy, it will be a pilot study only but would work as a basis for my master's thesis. If you are interested in the finding of this research, please feel free to request from me after Dec 18, 2004 via this email. I really appreciate your help.
I am using a "snowball" sumpling method so please forward this letter or pass the URL of survey (http://www.lidan.net/survey.html) to any bloggers you think appropriate for the survey. Thank you for your cooperation.
天，才几小时没来，zola的字体又见大了呀 [lol]
重在参与重在参与~but …. my english is very poor ~~~~金山词霸是个好东西 [redface]
呼~~我要看过LiMM的玉照之后再做决定！[redface] 吼吼
想让中国人参与就整个中文的界面
还有就是题目太多
我做了十几题后放弃了
对不起，找工作让我痛恨填表
Thank you guys for helping me out. I do appreciate your time and support. [yes]
The questionnaire is designed in English simply because I have to conduct the whole research in USA. I never meant to set a language barrier for Chinese bloggers. Actually so far I didn't taken nationality into account coz I didn't find any literature about the possible discrepancies between different cultures (thought it's fairly possible). However, I am considering translating the questionnaire into Chinese when I embark on the formal study (this is the pilot study). And I promise the questionnaire would be condensed into a brief one(that's for sure coz I myself hate long questions) because I can adjust the questions based on your guys' repondences and feedbacks. That's the most important thing in this pilot study I guess.
Once again, special thanks to Zola for pointing out my typo and helping me spead the word(I am still a bad typist and can't never avoid typos. I am afraid you will still find a lot in this piece).
Thanks go to xiaoun for your time. CIBA rocks. Though I have Merriam Webster I still use CIBA as the main E-dictionary. [smile]
Thanks to *Afly too. I don't wanna scare you but you surely can check my travelogue on my photoblog here http://album.lidan.net. I don't have lots of pics of myself but I do have a collections of nice pics taken along my trip in USA.
Thank moneywood as well. Your feedback is of importance to me and I'm grateful. I can absolutely understand the pains of filling out forms and I promise I won't let you suffer from that again.
Happy holidays guys!
Hey, Feel Free…
i take it…
NH…
in fact, you liMM own me 20min.. [cool]
谢谢，li dan，没想到我发发牢骚你也认真的re，哈哈。
我还想建议一下，如果您准备弄一个中文版的survey，我认为你对调查的题目设置应当有所取舍，答案的选择项也要做相应的调整。
随便举个例子，比如你的关于年收入的问题，你英文版的第一个选择项就是少于10000刀每年，如果你照搬这个到中文版，你会发现90%的选择集中于此，这样的结果就没有意义了。
我当时看到这个选择的时候有了本能的反感，我认为这不是一个为我设置的survey，这也是我停止的一个原因，好的survey能让你有继续做下去的冲动，题目会触动你，而其实题目多寡并不重要。
就是,做那道题时,我还去折算了一下,结果发现我的年薪还不到4000刀.
我觉得,既然只是调查发布网络日志的动机、用途和满意度,就没有多少必要调查这些个人信息了.
LIDAN说这只是初步调查,我相信下次会设计更完善更有针对性的调查表.
厉害，性情中人就是多野讲 [sweat]
