15. a

16. well considering WCW and ECW no longer exist ... I'll go with a

17. usually the better workers are the heels and I cheer talent ... so I'll go with a

18. antagonists ... anyone that can crack on the crowd gets my thumbs up

19. c ... it's rather minimal anyway

20. Anyone can have a bad day, week, month, year and I'm not quick to jump on Austin's case about this since I - nor a lot of the people who have voiced their opinion on the subject - don't have all the facts. I may not agree with whatever he did to Debra but I'm not going to crucify him or hold a grudge because of it.

April 16, 2003

1. 20

2. a) 2-4 hours

3. a) Yes (though let me express my distaste with this question, since I had a twin brother and we were going to fight no matter what; I'm concerned that you're going to be drawing inappropriate lines between violence between siblings and watching pro wrestling, despite the fact that, for example, my brother and I fought mostly when we were much younger. Little kids fight, and I've seen no scholarly material that considers five-year-olds fighting on the same scale as an adult male battering an adult female, but in the interest of honesty I'll answer this way.)

18. It's extremely hard to answer the question, so let me just say that while I sometimes "wish" I was the heel, I'm generally happy to see the face go over.

19. c) I am neutral

20. In 1-2 sentences, briefly describe your thoughts on pro wrestler Stone Cold Steve Austin (Steve Williams) being arrested and put on 1 year’s probation for assaulting his wife Debra Williams:

- I'm fully in support of that punishment if and only if it's as severe a punishment as any other perpetrator of domestic violence of the same magnitude would receive.

As a side note, some of the questions weren't anywhere near exhaustive in option (for example, number 19... I would have liked a 'somewhat offended' answer, and I certainly hope that your study doesn't equate actual violence against women - say, Jericho repeatedly antagonizing Stacy - with the women's matches proper), and the questionnaire seemed a bit slanted.

April 17, 2003

Far be it for me to comment, but your research project is way too barefaced to yeild significant results. Not to mention the fact that the results are open for other people to observe, thereby bringing in the whole problem of altering one's own answers due to social desirability, plus the fact that it's no use asking questions like "How do you feel about participating in violence after watching professional wrestling?", because data of this nature is best collected through obsevation. Your higly introspective approach is damaging to the credibility of ANY data you collect.

Are you perchance doing this for a Psychology Honours or undergraduate thesis? Because if you are, you've shown a complete disregard for essentials such as the need for a noterised consent form and a mandatory background information sheet, and if I were your supervisor I'd fail you immediately and make sure you get barred from practicing postgraduate psychology for the rest of your life. :angry:
