Doctoral candidate Juan M. Sánchez-Villar of the University of Valencia (Spain) has requested my help in completing his research on the effects reading political blogs may have on the adoption of a more participative political position.

For that, he needs that you, gentle reader, complete a survey before March 15th. The survey takes 8-12 minutes to complete.

Here is his email explaining,

Dear friends,

My name is Juan Sánchez and I am a PhD Marketing student at the University of Valencia (Spain). I am currently developing my doctoral thesis, which focuses on the existing relationship between Internet interactivity and the adoption of a more participative political position.

I would like to ask your collaboration to complete the empirical part of my thesis. In this respect, I need you to click on the link below in order to complete a brief and simple online survey.

As you will see, the questionnaire is easy to answer and can be completed in no more than 8-12 (real-time) minutes. The survey displays several statements on different elements related to blog reading and political participation.

My research has no commercial purpose whatsoever and all the collated information will remain totally anonymous. No previous relevant academic background is required and there are no right and wrong answers. What are truly important and relevant are the freely-expressed opinions on the matters raised.

Thank you.
