[CAR-PGa] Gender bias in gaming questionnaire first draft

Greetings,
I am currently in a course at EWU titled "The Psychology of Women", at the
same time gender-bias was being discussed, Ted sent the email with the link
for gamermessage.com

This triggered a fair amount of dialog as I posted questions about experiences
of gender-bias in gaming circles on Facebook, geekandsundry.com, and the EWU
classroom forum (it is an online course).

I then spoke with a local game store owner, and he has encouraged me to come
out Friday during a peak gamer attendance time, suggesting I ask the female
gamers there if they would be willing to answer a few questions about gender-
bias experiences related to gaming.

I whipped up a first draft 11 item questionnaire, and now just wanted to try to
run it by some other eyeballs for any needed revisions before Friday.

Feedback is appreciated.

Thank you,

Mission: Clearly establish through rigorous scientific
testing the causal therapeutic and educational impact
of role-playing gaming on participants.

"Holistic medicine treats the person rather than the disease,
its concern lies with the 'whole person' and with permitting
individuals to assume self-responsibility for their own health.
Whereas illness is the sole concern of 'traditional medicine',
holistic 'well medicine' deals with wellness and health promotion"
