ASMR data from website polls

My co-investigators and I are still collecting data for our on-going ASMR research survey (information about that research survey HERE).

But I do have some data to share from my website polls.

Below are responses from visitors to this site who answered the polls on the “First Time Visitor?” page.  There were 130-161 respondents for each question.

The majority of poll takers:

  • experience ASMR
  • report that ASMR helps them to feel less stressed or helps them to fall asleep
  • have watched over 100 ASMR videos
  • have not created an ASMR video
  • are between 20-39 years old
  • experienced ASMR before the age of 13
  • first learned about the term ASMR in 2013 or 2014
  • did not know other terms for the experience prior to learning the term “ASMR”
  • think ASMR is a real biological response
  • would like to  see more research done about ASMR

If you would like to see the full data from the polls, including which responses were least selected, then keep reading.

The ASMR Survey has launched

Interested in participating in some ASMR research?

I am collaborating with members of asmr-research.org on an on-line survey that may be the first published, global, demographic study about ASMR.

The survey is not only for those who experience ASMR, but it also for those who don’t experience ASMR or may not even know if they do experience ASMR. Comparing these different groups of people will help us to understand ASMR even better.

A book about ASMR is being written

Author Julie Young and ASMR artist Ilse Blansert are collaborating on the first book from a major publisher about ASMR titled, “Complete Idiot’s Guide to ASMR.”

Julie has experienced ASMR for a long period of time and brings her extensive author experience and deep interest about ASMR to this endeavor.

Ilse is an ASMR artist (AKA The Water whispers) with over 120,000 followers on YouTube, so you can expect she will be providing some of the best understandings and perspectives about ASMR to be found anywhere.

There is only one ASMR podcast that I know about

ASMR Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response UniversityIt is the ASMR HQ podcast.  It is hosted by Paula and Wanda.

The same dynamic duo that created the websites ASMR HQ and ASMR Academy.

As well as tons of spectacular ASMR videos.

I really like these two women.  They embody the true kindred and sharing spirit of the ASMR community.

All of their websites and their podcast have a huge amount of helpful content to ASMR artists and others.

I’ll probably write more posts about their websites in the future, but for now let me tell you more details about their podcast. Continue reading
