Editors Fandom
The purpose of this research is to analyze the role of being a fan in everyday life and the relationship between an individual and a fandom community, how music can transform people and their experiences and develop a sense of belonging and identity.
The survey has some open ended and reflective questions, please write from your heart and speak your mind.
I do not anticipate any risks from participating in this research and there are no direct benefits or incentives.
Your privacy and confidentiality will be protected. You can use a nickname and your nickname/name will not be eventually associated with quotes used in the report.
We may contact you again to request your participation in a follow up study. Your participation will be voluntary and we will ask your explicit consent to participate in any of the follow up studies.
I am not associated in any way with the band or anyone who works with them.
You can also answer in French, Spanish and Italian if it helps you.
Tips: you can read all the questions and then start answering, so you can take your time to think about your personal experiences. There's no right or wrong answers and everybody is a different fan, so just be honest and have fun. Maybe you'll understand something new about your connection with the fandom.
If you have any question you can send an e-mail to editors.research23@gmail.com
