Q. What were the gender representations in your study?
Overall, there were 77 respondents that completed the survey. However, 9 of the respondents indicated that they did not participate, but were fans of the project only and for the purposes of this study, they were excluded from the results leaving n=68. Of the participants, 49 identify as female (~70%) and 18 identify as male (~30%). 1 participant did not report gender.
For the participant interviews, I interviewed 14 participants and 7 were male and 7 were female. Since a large portion of the survey results suggested that participation in a global project was a high motivation factor so I selected individuals from various regions. I interviewed 6 individuals from North America (including Hawaii), 5 from Europe, and 3 from Asia.
