Hi, Everyone!
Hoopdance has done so much for so many people, and I think that we need to start getting the word out! I am a hoopdancer/ performer/ instructor, but also a doctoral student in clinical psychology. I am doing a study on women's experience with exercise and really want a strong sample of hoopdancers to include!
If you are female, over the age of 18, and live in the US please help put hooping on the academic map by taking a moment to fill out my brief survey: https://survey.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_af3p3n9wf51BP48
Thanks so much for your support!

Do you expect that you will have enough statisticaly significant variance between responses with a 7 point scale? just wondering. Awsome that you are looking for data on this though! Cant wait to read about what your findings are.

However, the authors of the selected scales did not authorize changes to them and responded to my question of modification that they believe that a wider breadth of response allows for more accurate measurement of experience rather than forcing more narrow options.
However, despite my tendency towards 5-point scales, I do believe that we will have enough variability for it to work, and that it will more accurately represent the correlations. :)


I took part in your survey. Also, I may have a journal post that may interest you as well. http://www.hoopcity.ca/profiles/blogs/my-healing-journey-within-the
I would love to see the results of your study. :)

I am still recovering and though I can only hoop with my mini's from my wheelchair, I am getting stronger each day.
