摘要

今天,研究人员有能力以多种不同的方式进行调查,包括使用大学学科池参与者的传统测试和最近的在线招聘方法。尽管使用互联网参与者变得越来越流行,但这一研究领域仍处于起步阶段,需要进一步研究。此外,还需要研究其他基于网络的平台,因为大部分文献都集中在使用亚马逊的土耳其机械(MTurk)上。因此,目前的研究招募了一个使用Reddit网站的互联网人群,并将他们与传统的大学生样本进行比较,以了解更多关于这个基于网络的平台。结果显示了两个样本之间的相似之处和区别。此外,先前在心理健康文献中的发现也得到了重复。总的来说,从Reddit上招募的参与者提供了高质量的数据,这些数据价格低廉,与从本科生参与者那里收集的答案相当。我们的结论是,这个网站似乎是心理评估、研究和评估领域的一个有前途的工具。

The Use of Reddit as an Inexpensive Source for High-Quality Data
Today, researchers have the ability to conduct their investigations in a number of different manners, including both traditional testing using university subject pool participants and the more recent method of online recruitment. Although the use of internet participants is becoming more popular, this area of research is still very much in its infancy and needs further examination. Additionally, alternative web-based platforms need to be investigated because much of the literature has focused on using Amazon.com’s Mechanical Turk (MTurk). Therefore, the current study recruited an internet population using the website Reddit, and compared them to a traditional undergraduate sample to learn more about this web-based platform. The results demonstrated similarities and distinctions between the two samples. Furthermore, previous findings in the psychological well-being literature were replicated. As a whole, the participants recruited from Reddit provided high-quality data that were inexpensive and comparable to the responses gathered using undergraduate participants. We conclude that this website appears to be a promising tool for the field of psychological assessment, research, and evaluation.
