I’ve seen a lot of surveys floating around like this, aimed at gathering information about student interests in various cultures. It makes me wonder how effective they really are at capturing genuine interest versus just being another checkbox exercise for academic research. I think to truly understand cultural interest, it might be more insightful to look at how students involve themselves in extracurricular cultural activities, like joining international student groups or participating in cultural exchange events. These hands-on experiences could provide a clearer picture than self-reported willingness to pay. Any thoughts on how we might make such studies more reflective of true engagement?
