This seems interesting. Are you just doing the whole thing through email? Also, voluntary response isn't a great way to get accurate results, but I guess it's all you have to work with.
Also, the subset of people who participate on lw is going to be an incredibly unrepresentative sample,
I'm likely going to run the same experiment with a group recruited through a different medium–just trying to decide which one would be the most "random"/"representative of the general population", but also within my means.
flyers around your university? Still not really representative but it would get you the standard WEIRD group
Would likely have to jump through the hoops of the university ethics board... Might be worthwhile though.
