The Lion and Gun

Got an email the other day asking me to post a link to the following survey. I've done some basic due diligence and it seems to be legit, but if you think there's anything sketchy about it please email me (using the link in the menu) to let me know. The project sounds interesting and if you've got fifteen minutes to spare it's worth filling out. After all, we here at the Lion and Gun are nothing if not champions of greater understanding. And the occasional clever obfuscation, of course, but I digress.

Here's what you need to know:

A research team from the Psychology Department at New York University, headed by Professor Yaacov Trope and supported by the National Science Foundation, is investigating the cognitive causes of voting behavior, political preferences, and candidate evaluations throughout the course of the 2008 U.S. Presidential election. This stage of the study focuses on the information people use to inform evaluations during the last few weeks before the election. They seek respondents of all political leanings from all over the country (and from the rest of the world) to complete a 15-minute questionnaire, the responses to which will be completely anonymous.
