Final Project Progress Report II

Introduction: We conducted an interview in Second Life, visited romantic places to find the possible subjects for our research. We already knew people date, get partners and even married in Second Life but we interested into knowing how are these relationships different from those in Real Life, are those people committed to their partners or it is just a game.

Method: Survey. We make contact with several people, in my personal experience I talked to several people until I found a couple who accessed to be interviewed. I send them the questions, one of them decided not to answer specifics questions regarding marriage and partnership status in Second Life, which deducted some important information to conclude about his Second Life behaviour.


Limitations: Time limit it was important to decide the size of the sample, we only interviewed 5 couples, if the sample were bigger then we could make some conclusions about cultural differences as well.


Results: We find interesting results regarding the age and gender of the people we interviewed, a big percentage of women care more about the commitment in their relationships but that may change according to the age of the subjects. When it comes to age, males and females shared patters.
