Guidelines: Hello! This survey centers on the interest of foreign university students in Chinese culture and their willingness to pay for it. The questionnaire is filled out anonymously, and the data will solely be used for academic research. Thank you wholeheartedly for your participation!

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?

If you want “real” interest, track revealed behavior, not just vibes. Look at actual spend and time: enrollment and completion rates for Chinese language classes, repeat attendance at cultural events, merch/book purchases, and club retention after the free dumplings run out. Run simple field experiments too-randomize ticket prices or perks (food, workshop credits) and see what moves the needle; RSVP vs. QR check‑ins will expose ghost signups fast. Also segment by stipend/allowance and schedule constraints, or you’ll mistake broke-and-busy for “not interested.”
