archive of 1997 & 1998
volunteer application responses

• the way people complete such online applications
  
• if the answers from people who DID volunteer differ in any way from those who DIDN'T volunteer
  
• geographic areas represented
• ages of people who complete the application and DO volunteer vs. people who complete the application and DON'T volunteer -- any significance?
• etc.

Researchers are welcomed to add to these findings.

 
 
For those that did NOT end up volunteering with us:

• The first 20 responses are people who completed the application in 1997.

• Responses 21 - 109 are people who submitted applications in 1998, but did NOT end up accepting an assignment or finishing an assignment.

The first 8 responses are people who completed the application in 1997. The rest are from 1998. There are 60 such people total (although more than 80 people total completed assignments as online volunteers for the VV Project in 1997 7 1998; not everyone completed an online application, however).

 
When the answer "DID NOT RESPOND" or "NO ANSWER" appears, it is because the question on the application didn't exist when they completed it.

 
 
Each question, after the first two, are on a seperate web page, with answers submitted on the same page.
