Helping a friend out

A friend of mine needs some help on a seminar paper so he can graduate. I'd appreciate it if you guys could take 10 minutes or so and answer his survey.

Thankx, guys!

took 8 minutes...any longer and you're fibbing.

It was quick, though some of the question seemed redundant. I don't really see a difference between "Do you behave online differently than offline" and ""Do you behave offline differently than online & co"

That's most likely there to gauge the question's accuracy as well as the respondent's reliability. If the question is the same question worded differently and gets different answers from the same person, that means the person probably isn't taking the survey seriously

How many surveys he needs to conduct?

If he needs more then 100 responses this is a lot of work with little gain. Especially since the "reversed" questions are so close to each other.

I think he said he needs 600. But you have programs that can check if the answers were the same. You designate the two questions which are supposed to match. If they don't, the survey is marked as such

I took the survey. My problem is, I don't "get" online social networking and never have. Don't do facebook or any equivalent. All of my online persona comes from forums like this one and a few hobby-related web sites.
