NYU Grad Master Thesis Survey on Broadway Audience Engagement

Your answer choices are awfully limiting for a master thesis.

Done.

I completed it as well, but the choices were odd, especially for people on a Broadway theater chatboard.

Also completed! Good luck.

In response to everyone else, I think I caught the drift of the survey. I would not like to color in any way the OP's survey with my opinion, however so I'm not gonna say anything here. But PM me if you wanna chat about it for whatever reason, because I believe she has a very specific goal here.

Done as well. Your sample is likely to be very biased if you're getting most of your respondents from this board. I do hope you're looking to recruit folks who aren't "theater people." Not to mention, even message board "theater people" differ from other "theater people" so that itself is another bias. It will strongly limit to what extent you can generalize your findings, if any.

Also, several questions should have explanations. I imagine some folks who answer that they attend a show once every two years will not know what a "lottery or rush option" is. A lot of these caveats can be explained in your limitations section!



Good luck! I'm interested to see what you find and how you present the data. I'd love to read your thesis when you're done. What's your Master's in?

I don't think that's possible. :) When it comes to picking a topic for a thesis or dissertation, it's always better to think small and let things grow from there. A lot of graduate students choose topics that are too broad, leading to an unfocused final product. If the survey (which I just took) seems limited in scope, that's a good sign that the OP has chosen a very focused research question.
