Paid Survey for Incels?

A paid survey for incels? Interesting. I am reading some (PMs) about it now. I'll quote them for you and I'll give it a try and inform you here step by step.

PM 1

The 1-st PM is:

Incel Paid Study ($20)
Hey Poorbaldshortcel,

If you're interested in participating in a paid study about incels you can do so here: https://psy.swansea.ac.uk/SISNET/

You will need to scroll down to the bottom of the page to click on a link for the survey.

The Swansea University Research on the Incel Community (SURIC) is a piece of research aimed at conducting empirical research to better understand the dynamics of the incel (involuntary celibate) community, and individuals who identify as incel.

Their Mission Statement:

We are aware that members of the incel community are often skeptical about academic research and the agenda/motive of the research team. In an effort to be open about our position, we have the following "mission statement". As a research team we commit to:

Base psychological findings around direct engagement with the incel community and individuals rather than linguistic analyses of internet posts

Investigate incel beliefs and behaviour without sensationalising or demonising them.

Not judge the entire community, or all incels, by the actions, behaviors, or views of the most extreme minority of incels

Base our findings on the biggest sample of incel participants of any study

Base our findings on a broader representation of the incel community including multiple definitions of incel identity (e.g., forum users and non-forum users, or people who only identify with the life circumstance).

Use a data driven approach to investiate potential avenues for understanding incel beliefs and behaviour and to help address the problems associated with such beliefs and behaviour.

PM 2

The 2-nd PM  is:

Paid Survey Update (Payment Optional) ($20)
Hey Poorbaldshortcel,

I promoted a survey about a week or 2 ago and many of you expressed privacy concerns when it came to payment.

Participants can still choose to get paid anonymously to participate (but will need to provide details to a 3rd party payment website) or choose to have the $20 donated to Movember without giving details.

Starting with the first PM's link...
Yep, there is a " Participate
Get paid to participate in our research into involuntary celibacy - click here. " at the bottom. Clicking it...

[Incel]

Good so far. It leads to the second PM's link (webpage) which is https://swanseachhs.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cHkwbiTtgaA3m6i

It shows this message (text):

Thank you for your interest in the study. Before we send you the link, we want to make sure that you meet the study criteria and are aware of its content.

This screening survey is not connected to the main survey. Any answers you give here cannot be connected to the main questionnaire.

The study contains some sensitive questions which might make you feel distressed. In addition to personality measures, we will ask you about your sexual history, thoughts about rape myths, attitudes towards women, political beliefs, and thoughts on incel-related violence.

It is important that you feel comfortable answering questions like this before agreeing to participate in the study. If you still wish to participate, then please answer the following questions.
What is your date of birth? (mm/dd/yyyy)

I'll answer it honestly, 100%. I want to cooperate with the science!

[Incel]

It started!

Are you an incel?
Yes/No
Yes
What is your country of residence?
United Kingdom
United States

I understand the sensitive and potentially distressing nature of the questions in the questionnaire.
Yes/No
Yes

[Incel]

Well, they're not interested in me...  I guess because of my age and/or because I am not in the UK or in US.
It says:

Thank you for your interest in the study. Unfortunately, you’re not quite suitable for the study so we cannot send you the link. If you would like to know more about the study, then please contact the research team below.

And the last one was

Thank you, you may now close the browser window.

[Incel]

At least I tried.

The end.

Science should study all kind of the incels: disabledcels, poorcels, shortcels, tallcels, marcels (husbandcels), fatcels, slimcels, ethnicels, baldcels, oldcels, etc.

[MSL]

 Nothing to add here. It's just their right and their choice to study the incels in those Western coutries not in other places and/or to focus on the age groups they do prefer (for example being interested in incels between 14 to 44 not incels between 45 to 89.)
 And because there is nothing to add here ontopic, I'll add something offtopic: The ancient Indian proverb says, "Only when the last tree is cut down, the last river is polluted, and the last fish is caught, we canrealize that money cannot be eaten."
