Hello,

My name is Mary Russell and I’m pursuing my master’s in technical communication at Missouri S&T.

I am conducting research studying Airbnb listings to understand booking decisions regarding rural Airbnbs. This research will be used for a master’s thesis in technical communication, and the I hope to publish these results.

This study will seek to understand both the rhetorical choices made by hosts when constructing their property listing, and also the response of guests to the rhetoric on Airbnb listings, providing a comprehensive understanding of the rhetoric on the Airbnb platform.

If you are 18 years of age or older and have ever stayed in a rural Airbnb or want to stay in one sometime soon, you are eligible to complete this 17-question survey. It should take 10-15 minutes to complete. Potential benefits include improvement of the user experience on the Airbnb platform, because the results of this study will be available to both users and hosts.  The Survey link can be found here:https://forms.gle/nCt3buQgwizNFVPu9<https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforms.gle%2FnCt3buQgwizNFVPu9%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR3Q42eI3phZXRPR0J15areWG4s9ghwIPck9388W-Sj2H8ap_a0_aqSBAc8&data=04%7C01%7C%7Cc62d813c862d4a0482e808d8dda30a64%7Ce3fefdbef7e9401ba51a355e01b05a89%7C0%7C0%7C637503039603514640%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=0uZLie2NlADuwZ6%2FwB1TfBSagWSeVt756t8IMZtI4Bk%3D&reserved=0>
