Jim:

Thank you so much for sharing the results as well as the raw scores with all of us!

May I ask your method for creating the survey, determinig the target population, recruiting respondents, and collecting the samples? I am asking because I would like to determine if these could be used as a reference in a scholarly work.

Thanks!
Carol
