Need some help from the US :-)

Hi there,

I am a german student from the Kassel University.
Currently I am writing my diploma thesis about:
The Acceptance of advertising activities in different cultures

Acc. to that I have a questionnaire running about the topic.
It would be very kind of you if you could take part on this survey.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Best regards from Germany!

Questionnaire for diploma thesis

yay i did it too...i have waaaay too much free time...ha...but some of the questions were confusing between translations and all. and advertising letters or whatever. don't think i have ever gotten one of those. interesting.

Thanks a lot for taking part at the survey.
I hope that you could understand at least the sense of the questions. An american Prof. had taken a look at the translation and said its alright, but I think he was just a little bit lazy
I still try to improve some of the sentences so that they sound more natural.

Of course I can try to share the results, but at all it will least a while with the complete analysis.

PS: I hope that my chinese translation is doing fine, because I have got no Idea what the chinese students which helped me out have really written

@Defying_Gravity_Girl

Me too
But what is good about the chinese questionnaire, is that my professor also is not able to read chinese

On tuesday I have a meeting with someone to improve the english translation beucause some of the sentences sound slightly weird.
I hope it is possible to get the sense of the questions in the current version.

I was able to understand it pretty well, but German is also my second language, so I'm used to the translations being a little bit off. It should be fine!

maybe i just throw them away since i don't know what they are

Bitte, WiWi!

I am still improving the questionnaire so that it sounds more natural, but it´s not that easy tor translate the german questionnaire into a good english (even for my marketing prof).
What about the following sentences? Do they make sense and
sound like they should in english?

I feel displeased, If my name appears in advertising letters

What do you think about the following statements about advertising with "texting" via mobile phone?

It can happen that during a telephone sales call or information call I just ring off or end the call

It is easy for me to turn a sales representative down

I feel harassed in my privacy by sales representatives

If I find advertising brochures in my mailbox, I throw them in the bin unread

@supportivemom:
You are absolutely right about the helpfullness in this place.
I´m glad that I have posted here.

By the way, if someone of you needs help with a german issue, don´t hesitate to ask...

The survey is online again, yesterday the website was down due to any trouble but now it´s allright

Thx a lot for the support

@lovely: thx alot.

I posted it in various topics. But a lot of people think that
this is spam, so it´s hard to get participants.

At all I am going to try to get about 50 - 100 people from each country-

So I have made a prolongation of the questionnaire for just one more week cause I still need some more participants
(especially from the US).
