Neurolinguistic Survey

[Cavemansailor]

As part of my research into how language affects human perception and behavior in long-term survival situations, I created a survey to measure attitudes towards utilitarian aggression, reproduction and sexuality. I am using the survey to both build a control group and profile potential candidates for my language experiment (which I describe in the "Projects" section of the forums).

If anyone is interested, average time to complete the survey is 10 minutes. I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks in advance!

NLP questions so confusing

 

[Cavemansailor]

I'm vaguely familiar with the pseudo-scientific concept of NLP ("neuro linguistic programming"), which really has little relation to true neurolinguistics (the scientific study of the mechanics and function of language on a neurological level).

All of the questions on the survey relate to reproductive/survival strategies in one way or another. The questions are worded to present problems of situational ethics to a modern human living in industrialized society. I then compare the answers to the observed behavioral decisions of social mammals and hunter gatherers. I am measuring the prevalence of sociobiological memes (behavioral ideas transmitted through culture and language) and correlating response patterns with IQ and averaged EEG power spectrums in the left prefrontal cortex.

I can't sample EEG's online, so I am using the survey to establish a proxy control group and to select candidates for the real-world experiment.

If any specific questions are vague or confusing, please let me know.

Thanks for all of your time and input!
