Hello fellow backcountry enthusiasts

My name is Alexandria Schmitz and I am a research student at Thompson Rivers University. I am doing a study on the achievement motivations of backcountry skiers and snowmobilers. Social sciences lack in avalanche research and there is much to know about the human factor and avalanche safety. Understanding human behavior is the first step in understanding how we can prevent more backcountry incidents.
If you would assist in the research by answering the survey below it is much appreciated. The survey is confidential and anonymous.

If you would assist in the research by answering the survey below it is much appreciated. The survey is confidential and anonymous and should not take more than two minutes of your time.

Why has this thread been posted again? The last time it was posted it was pointed out to you that the Lickert Scale had a typo in it…

1- Strongly Agree 2- Disagree 3- Neutral 4- Agree 5- Strongly Agree

...so it is impossible to answer the questions. Why don’t you correct it and people might answer it?

Don’t know why it has been reposted, I’ve decided to merge the two threads.
