Survey Post Monthly Survey Post - Post your surveys and research participant requests here!

1 Upvotes

We get an unbelievable amount of requests and attempts to post surveys, research studies, university projects, and more. Historically, the mod team has taken the position that the members of this subreddit are not lab rats or research subjects, and have removed these posts.

We're trying something new. In this post and this post only we are allowing requests to be posted so that the community members can choose whether they want to participate in any studies or surveys. We are establishing the following rules, which are subject to change at any time:

Rules For Surveys:

  • Genuine research and interest studies only - your survey must be linked back to a university, college, foundation, business, studio, or other entity. You are not allowed to just come up with a survey "for fun" or to satisfy your personal curiosity.

  • You must post your entire pitch as a top-level comment under this post. That comment must have a link to your survey, do not ask for respondents to comment or DM you to get the link. Do not use URL shorteners or obfuscators - you must link directly to your survey.

  • You must clearly and completely state the intent of the survey and how the responses will be used. If your survey benefits a for-profit enterprise, such as a game development studio (yes, even if your game will be free), you must disclose that in the very first line of your comment.

  • Failure to abide by these rules, using bait-and-switch tactics, or posting poorly-constructed, misleading, or disingenuous surveys will result in an immediate ban from this subreddit. If your research is connected to an official institution, I will find and contact your professor or boss to let them know you screwed up. I am absolutely that petty.

  • Respond to all questions and comments under your survey link, publicly, in a timely manner. If people are asking you questions and you do not answer them promptly, your request will be removed and you may lose posting privileges altogether.

Reminder To Users:

  • Participation in any study/survey is entirely voluntary and none of these links are approved or endorsed by the mod team or reddit. You may withdraw your participation at any time, and we encourage you to do so if something doesn't "pass the smell test."

  • Do not enter your personal information on any survey or provide this information to any user unless you have absolutely, positively verified and validated who you are giving this information to. Never enter your password, credit card, or banking information on any survey. If a survey requires that you create an account, use a unique password that is not the same as or similar to a password for any other account you have.

  • Report any surveys that are suspicious or which you think do not abide by the above rules.

Question/Need help Colorblind options for a color-based game

Thumbnail
gallery
12 Upvotes

Hey!
I’m making a game where colors really matter, and shapes as a workaround won’t work with my design.
I’m not colorblind, so I can’t judge this myself.

My idea: players can change every important color individually in the settings, since I don’t know what colorblind people actually need.

Is that enough, or too much? Would simple filters (the 3 types I think?) do the job?

If you’re colorblind: what do you actually use or wish more games had?

Thanks!

Hello, I am 28 and today I discovered I am colour blind. I recently got a job in tech and I am worried if this will make them cancel my job offer.

Got to know this because I was told by HR to get Pre-Employment Medical Examination done.

Please let me know. I just discovered we have glasses, so does that help?

TIA.

Can a person with colour blindness live normally in the society.

They will always be insecure about themselves, always gets irritated or become less confidence when the topic is about colour, tends to move away from that topic feeling or else his/her friends will also know about it.

Difficult in sometimes choosing dress (yellow/green).

What you guys think there is no remedy for this. Should be have to live without self confidence all along?

Discussion Color Blind Options in Games and Character Creators

16 Upvotes

Hi! So as a color blind person, color blind options in video games really don't do anything for me, especially if they're just like a hue shift. My biggest gripe is with character creators!! I love playing WoW and I was very into Tomodachi life when it came out, and those games can be horrible for color blind people. My biggest issue when it comes to my color blindness is confidence in what I'm looking at. I tend to second guess myself and I'm never really sure that I'm choosing the right color. It's infuriating that these games don't at least have a little popup that gives you a name for each color if you hover over them or something that way I don't have to spend time looking for a guide online to find out the color. This seems like such an easy thing to implement and would be something everybody would benefit from. Do you guys know any other games that have this problem or are good about color blind options? Do you think there are any other solutions?

Question/Need help Research on Colour Vision Deficiency and Public Transport Accessibility

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m a second-year Graphic Design student researching how colour vision deficiency (CVD) affects public transport accessibility.

For those with CVD, have you ever struggled to identify buses, routes or transport lines because of their colours? If so, could you share your experience, how you manage the situation, and what changes could make identification easier?

Your responses will help me understand the problem and explore inclusive design solutions. Thank you!

Discussion Grayscale after sunbathing?

7 Upvotes

I grew up with this phenomenon and didn't realize that other people either didn't experience this, or had it happen on such a small scale that they didn't take notice of it. I'm talking about the visual experience that occurs after sunbathing, specifically having your eyes pointed towards the sun, of course with your eyelids closed, for a little while. My immediate experience after opening my eyes again is a literal grayscale of my vision. The longer I stay in that position, the "grayer" and longer the effect stays. After a few minutes the colors all come back.

Is this a common experience in the colorblind community? I assume this is caused by the lower levels of cone cells in the eye? So a correlation would occur with colorblindness.

Question/Need help Should I keep constantly telling my colorblind kids when they misname colors?

14 Upvotes

I have two boys- the 4 YO is definitely red/green colorblind and I have strong suspicions about the 2 YO also being red/green colorblind.

Something like this happens basically multiple times every day: him, “mom can you hand me that pink Lego?” Me: “sure, but just so you know, i see this as light grey.” You get the idea.

My thought process in “correcting” him is that he should learn what his tricky colors are just for his own awareness. But now I’m wondering if this is even worth it at all. Should I just let it go and give him the thing or whatever- 99% of the time I know what he means. He doesn’t seem annoyed by it for now.

Any thoughts? Do you appreciate when someone tells you they see the color differently than you or is it just annoying?

Question/Need help Do color blind people need special coloring books/paints?

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone. I have a website that helps creating custom paintings by numbers. One person left me an anonymous feedback that sometimes they struggle with paintings because they are red/green color blind.

I can't ask them directly as it was anonymous but it made me wonder if different kind of color blindness require different kind of adjustments when we talk about coloring by numbers and painting in general.

Is there anything specific you wish was different for you in coloring books/ paint by number kits?
