I would really appreciate your input.

Haven't we gone through this before about ten thousand times? It used to be that this sort of thing was explicitly not permitted here, but now that the user agreement is so much harder to find that's not so clear. But in any event, how will you have any confidence at all in the legitimacy of the results of a survey posted on an pseudonymous internet forum that is open to the public? Anyone at all could click into that survey and give you all sorts of made-up answers.

If I were your supervising professor, I would have serious problems with data collected in this manner.

I'm not as excited about validity, since there are metrics to deal with this kind of public survey data. What is more troublesome is the complete lack of any information at all about the study. While anonymous surveys can qualify for exemption, it seems unlikely to me that this one was cleared for waiver of notification and consent. In other words--unethical research practice!

The survey is not only all of the above, it is darn near useless except to gather potential iinterview participants.
