Just fake it.
Make 60 different login names, and use a Random Number Generator to answer the questions.

Tell you what, I'll make you a deal. I will participate in your study if you will participate in mine.
I am studying the effects of sunlight and social deprivation on college students in order to better understand victims of sociopaths. The study would entail you being chained up in my basement for a time period to be determined (by me). The events of your stay must be kept confidential and you will need to sign a consent form ahead of time.
So do we have a deal?
It puts the lotion on its skin.
I think he's definitely going to get the hose.

Please don't call this a thesis. Use the term "book report" or something instead.

He should do his thesis on "How to fail at obtaining 100 samples for a survey."

You know, it's way beyond bad when you can't even get 100 samples after spamming and begging on the internet.

Understandably, the lack of an open-participant link and needing to provide more information up-front makes the study less accessible. If this was just for a class then fudging on the rigid adherence to certain requirements would be fine. I also know when I'm being trolled, so don't take me for a fool either. ;P
That being said, I'm bumping again. Given the large number of responses I got last time I'm still hopeful for more. To any moderators, I apologize if I'm being a bit too proactive about trying to get participants for this.
Also, if anyone has any questions about my study or related studies I will certainly answer them as best I can. I'm thinking of coming back here (and to other places I've look for participants at) to share my findings once I'm done, although I don't know how many people will remember it by then.

It is unfortunate that you don't like the random number generation idea...
Because that is how I answered your survey...35 times, with 35 different throw away e-mail addresses.
So much for your "strict requirements"....

Thats okay, I have already considered that I may need to filter out such responses from my results. The statistical analysis software I use is good about finding outlier data.
Such problems are unavoidable when it comes to participation in self-response type surveys anyway, especially on the internet where anonymity may lead people to behave in more socially-dissaproved ways. I will take into account such things in reporting my data.
Thanks for your comments and continued interest!

Can I guess that you aren't a communications or English major?

You'd guess correctly, I'm a Psychology Major (undergraduate and graduate).
