Great, thanks!

There are other threads which mention differences in idiom and how it can contribute to misunderstanding.

Do you have a link, by any chance? Would be an interesting read.

Nice survey and interesting subject.

Thanks

Just updated the final stats: http://blog.openinformation.org/atti...de-static.html

And they are impressive: 333 participants completed the survey, and the response rate was 76%! I again have to say a big "thank you" to this community, that is awesome

I've unstuck the thread.

Thanks! Just wanted to inform you guys, but as always you are faster than me

Thanks for the support!

Hi everybody,

just a quick update on everything

I handed in the thesis on Monday - thanks again to everybody who participated and/or commented - that was amazing!! Normally it takes 4-6 weeks until it gets graded. In the meanwhile, no results can be published, but after that, I'd be glad to provide a nice way to browse the results!

As data for the main analysis in the thesis, I did only take the questionnaire from US and German participants, for statistical/demographic reasons. Those were the only groups with more than 50 people, which made my interpretations more solid. I want to find a good way to publish all of the results, however, and am currently looking into that. So every questionnaire will be used in the end and hopefully provide an even more diverse picture.

As for the book raffle, I'll do that pretty soon. Have to think of a nice way to come up with randomness

Thanks again!
Gregor
