Re: Need people from the UK for a study



Again, here is my email address -- I am not trawling for email
addresses to use for spam.

m.whitty@xxxxxxxxx

Here is my website:
http://www.psych.qub.ac.uk/staff/teaching/whitty/profile/index.aspx

As you will see I am a fairly experienced researcher.

The webpage of the survey provides the details of the study and ethics
committee.

I will not be using any of the comments on the list for my research
only the survey -- I was just interested in generating some discussion.

Kind Regards,

Monica

Hi all,

I'm conducting an international study on individuals attitudes towards
how computers should be used at work and views on how responsible
employers should be when it comes to protecting our computers from
spyware and viruses.

They aren't "our" computers. They are a tool provided by your employer
for doing a job.

Why haven't you got an academic email address?

Because it's a trawl for email addresses to use for spam.
Or, it's an undergraduate pretending to be a postgrad, getting some help
with homework and hoping the profs don't find out.

If not, "Monica" will surely be happy to make available details of the
survey objectives, the analysis methodology and at least one verifiable
academic reference (preferably from the ethics committee).

I thought not.
