What does it really mean to be a fan? We want to know what you think!

Please complete this short survey and help to construct a new psychometric measure that will assess fan identity specifically as it relates to media fandom. Thank you!

This research study is being conducted by researchers at the University of South Florida.

Thanks everyone! I really appreciate you all's help. I know 52 items looks like a lot, but they're simple and it goes by pretty fast.

I need all of the responses I can get, so keep 'em coming. ;)

Thanks again!

My answers mostly stayed in one area, Wishy. Not much hopping around.

<_< My inborn mistrust of psychology studies and prevalence of internet monitoring prompts me to ask what the purpose of this is.

Some of it seems geared towards suggesting that fandom results in loss of functionality to the same degree as psychiatric disorder, and also seems to be suggesting a comparison with OCD.

I also question why the linked webpage is not in the same directory as the usf psychology department's official site.
