CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS: MALADAPTIVE DAYDREAMING RESEARCH 🫢🏽🫢🏽

Hey my fellow mdders! I made a post abt half a year ago on this sub, asking for suggestions for the topic of my thesis, and after a lot of hustle I brought it down to the 2 most interesting and innovative topics I could think of!

Before we get into that, I wanna introduce myself, so hey yall, πŸ‘‹πŸ½ I'm Bree (not my real name haha, it's my online "persona" of sorts, I go by Niki irl, it's my nickname so feel free to use either.)

I'm 20, and I'm an undergraduate psych student writing a thesis on maladaptive daydreaming this semester, as I've had it since I was 13, and I think that contributing to this field of research will be very crucial (as well as interesting for me because of my passion for it).

So I'm wondering how many of you guys would be open to being participants. I need a sample of at least 300, so hopefully I get enough to write a credible thesis. The more, the merrier, and the stronger the findings :) (I need a huge sample because the topic I'm writing a thesis on, has limited literature. )

EDIT: TOPIC FINALISED 🫢🏽

Basically the difference in frequency of MD in MDDers who engage in multiple vs single media type out of these.

The requirements are that: 1) you have maladaptive daydreaming 2) you are in the age range of 18-50 (i wanted to be 15-50, but we require parental consent for minors and it complicates the process :/ )

Currently making the questionnaire! Should be done by this weekend (hopefully) 🀞🏽

It's going to be in English ofc, and I'll update this post after I finalize the survey/questionnaires.

It's a quantitive research, and data collection is going to be through online survery. Everything will ofc be entirely confidential, and prior informed consent will be taken. I intend to keep it anonymous as well for the participant's comfort.

(Only vague details like age, nationality, other disorders if present etc will be taken for data analysis)

I'll ofc share the results in this subreddit and the official discord server :)

I also have my own discord server if that would make things easier.

So yeah let me know if you guys are interested. It would mean a lot to me. πŸ’™

Thank you so much 🫢🏽

Edit: Since I'm an undergrad student, unfortunately it won't be paid as I'm a struggling college student myself:/ But I would ofc really appreciate the help! Hopefully in the future tho 🀞🏽

Edit: Omg guysssss I wasn't expecting such an amazing response πŸ₯°a huge thanks to all of you guys for being so supportive. It really motivates me to give it my all and contribute to this emerging area of research.

Love this community πŸ’ž
