Dear Erin,
I have made in te past a pilot survey using yahoo and msn groups. I
wonder
if you could try the same. This involves a previous free registratiom,
which
takes time and patience but the results might worth the effort. I got 80
replies in 3 weeks.
I wish you luck.
Regards,
Luisa Pinto

Subject: Help with Survey
Dear Colleagues,
A thesis student of mine is working on a study that examines the
relationship between emotional intelligence and performance. Her main
hypotheses involve looking at different job variables (from O*NET) as
moderators of that relationship. As a result, she needs to get her
surveys
(and the MSCEIT) completed by employees from a wide variety of
occupations.
We have both forwarded the survey to all of our contacts, and asked them
to
forward to their contacts. Yet the response rate is much lower than
either
of us expected (mainly due to employees not wanting to send a survey to
their supervisor and employees not wanting to take the 30-45 minute
ability-based EI test).
I am including a link to her survey in this email. If you are willing,
could
you please forward this to any of your non-academic contacts who you
think
might be willing to participate (business associates, friends, family)?
She
is looking for all types of jobs, so any working adult (non-student)
will
do. The main criteria is that they are willing to complete the lengthy
EI
measure (in exchange for a chance to win $300) and willing to forward a
very
SHORT (10-minute) survey to their supervisor (basically a performance
rating
form). There's a drawing for supervisors, too.
The following link goes to her website that will explain the details.
Participants should go to this website to begin participation.

Even if you are not willing to pass the survey on, I wonder if you have
any
suggestions for recruiting more participants (places to post the survey,
etc.). I'm all out of suggestions for her and would like to see her
finish
her project on time (this semester).
Thank you in advance for your help!
Sincerely,
Erin Richard
