Juline Gordon from McMaster Univseirty is conducting a master's theisis in Huuman Geography and looking for participants in his study of household decision making. Through the survey, they hope to discover how individual household decisions affect our communities. In many cases, we do not have the opportunity to test policies without potential adverse effects. Through the experiment and surveys, we hope to collect data which will help to predict the impact of human behaviour when implementing community projects. The data you provide will be used as information inputs for a computer model. This model will simulate the effects of human behaviour on community outcomes.
We are inviting homeowners or tenants over the age of 18 to complete:
· A short personal survey
- A role-play simulation “game,” where you will make decisions about a neighbourhood to live in, and how to distribute about $60000 in income
- An additional questionnaire about your real-life decisions and habits
This process should take approximately 25-30 minutes. In appreciation for your time, you will be entered into a lottery draw for a 500 dollar gift certificate to Amazon.ca.
