I have a brief, simple academic survey which I need to administer to a small general cross-section of Americans. Is there a website or online forum where I could post this or advertise for participants? I need between 50-100 participants, and I have about a month to meet this quota. I feel that the internet would be the best way to get a random sample, as most of the real-world options I have for administering this survey would skew the results, but I’m hoping for something a little more credible/reliable than Craigslist.
Thanks for any help!
If you need an accurate cross-section of Americans, nothing on the internet will provide that. There are still plenty of Americans not online.
I’m aware that I can’t get a truly accurate random cross-section on the internet, but I still think that an online sample would be more diverse and representative of generalized beliefs than any sample I could feasibly collect in my own area. If I tried to collect data virtually anywhere in or near my home city, it would be biased and represent the views that are most common here.
Ask the mods if you can post it here. We’ve done stuff like this in the past but it’s best to ask for permission.
