Kelsey ChappettaDescription
My name is Kelsey Chappetta and I am a doctoral candidate in the social psychology department. I’m interested in why men and women don’t play video games at the same rates and the differences between men’s and women’s gameplay experiences. To examine this, I will be conducting a participant observation in World of Warcraft. This means that the research assistants will actually play World of Warcraft! If you’re interested in this topic and want to help with my research for course credits in the summer semester, please email me for more information!
Special Directions
In your email, please let me know how long you have been playing/how experienced you are with World of Warcraft.
Special Skills
To be eligible to be a research assistant for this study, you MUST be familiar with World of Warcraft and know how to play.
