Glad that people are enjoying it (probably more than waiting on the patch anyway)! Currently, I am going over the responses that I received and planning some analyses.
TL,DR: I’m eager to share what I’ve learned from this sample, and what other researchers have learned as well, regarding online players in general and more specifically ToS players. Finally, if this can help some with sorting out their mindset both in-game and in real life, then all the better. 
A survey isn’t going to help you become a “professional”. Especially not in the field of actual, real-life, psychology.
Also, while this data may not be used for profit; it could still be used and disseminated by you for possible coursework.
Agreed, and it’s not the point, either. I do not need this to advance in my studies at all, that side is covered in my personal life. This survey and what gets out from it is for fun, so to speak, and the community. I do this because I enjoy research. A lot, even basic surveys. In this case, it’s an anonymous survey so I have no possibility to follow participants (all over the world) for subsequent experimental designs, which is “logistically challenging” over the Internet anyways.
No, I can’t disseminate the results through an academic purpose because this is an independent initiative, and the constraints/biases make it largely “professionally” irrelevant to me.
Saturday bump. 
I’m going to close the survey a week or two after the F2P release, as reaching 300 participants may take quite some time. We’ll see.

I’ll nudge a second time tonight and tomorrow I will close the survey :-). Sunday, I will be login all day from 13:00 to 22:00 EST in Klaipeda, Orsha city, in front of the Warp statue. I will p.m the three winners… I’ll repeat this process until the prizes are all handed out!
Thank you for all who participated!

Quite a few new people have added in today… I wonder if I should allow this to run for a little longer. We’ll see how it goes tomorrow night. For now, we’re at 180 responses
I’ll keep you posted.
can you post results for the survey as well?
interesting. but only a few actually know this thread exists =(
i’m surprised race is not part of the question.
i mean, for one u got to be non-japanese to be a weaboo based on definition, and definition for this kind of study is kind of important?
Good thinking!
I decided to limit this kind of descriptive to nationality because asking for “race”–I prefer the term ethnicity, because there is only one human race–can tie results to even more sensible implications than nationality already does wrongly. In this case, these implications would not be necessarily positive for the community as you can imagine why.
So yeah, I’m not sure ethnicity would really offer more useful information. Indeed, some Japanese do not watch anime/read manga and so do not necessarily identify to an otaku culture. That was the long answer–the short answer is that I simply forgot to add it!
Yeah, which is why you have just helped by replying to the thread. I have bumped the thread every once in a while for a month now, and it seems to be working. We’re around 200/300 responses now. Anyone is welcome to help by telling your in-game friends or link this thread to other threads
The results will be posted in this thread once I close the survey. Surprisingly I have around 200 responses now, my goal being 300 for more representativeness of the community (the ideal being in the thousands). A lot of new people have flooded in today and yesterday (presumably from the f2p wave) so I might extend the participation deadline. 
Nudge
Seeing the wave of new responses the last couple days, I’m thinking that I’ll give more people the chance to participate so I’ll leave the survey open for another week and re-adjust next week if needed. To compensate those waiting for the results, I’ll enlarge the raffle prizes to 100k/each winner.
Thanks,
