How Neurodivergent Focus Affects TV watching choices
What's the study about?
I am studying how people with different types of focus choose to watch and interact with television shows. My focus is on how monotropic traits, a type of focus associated with autism and other neurodivergent identities, influence what people watch. In the following survey you will be asked to share about your television watching habits, take the monotropism questionnaire which measures how you focus, and answer a few demographic questions.
Who can participate?
Adults 18 or over, have watched TV in the past year, able to consent to participate for themself, neurodivergent and neurotypical participants needed
What will participants be doing?
In the following survey you will be asked to share about your television watching habits, take the monotropism questionnaire which measures how you focus, and answer a few demographic questions. You can skip questions or withdraw from the survey at any time. This survey takes most people about 15 minutes or less on average to complete.
Why is this important?
This survey hopes to explore if there are major differences between people with high and low levels of monotropic traits and how they watch and interact with television shows. Considering how connected neurodivergent and monotopic focus are, it could help see how neurodivergent people prefer to watch TV. This could help media producers better design media for neurodivergent audiences.
