tontonz1 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 So I shall be graduating in a few weeks with my degree Psychology, then onto grad school for neuroscience. I'm doing a study on human relationships and social networks and if you helped me take this quick survey, it'd be hella NDC of you. It'll only take a few minutes and I would greatly appreciate your input. Thanks! http://surveys.questionpro.com/a/TakeSurvey?id=3214817 If you want to know more about the study, you can PM me.

Guest A/D Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I "finished" it, but didn't answer 90% of the questions b/c I don't have facebook and don't chat online (assuming you meant gchat, aim & not watmm) sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 done. seemed like a strange selection of questions, as I don't know anyone, even people who use facebook & fb chat regularly, who talk about their problems for hours on end. then again if I knew someone who did that, it would strongly discourage me from wanting to be friends with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I said that I don't know anyone who does that, that very much includes female friends & my girlfriend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 how is that offensive? Assuming that women whine about drama on facebook to their girlfriends for hours on end seems pretty sexist to me. unless this survey is specifically trying to disprove that, it seems pretty obvious that's what the survey is leaning towards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoodie Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 how is that offensive? Assuming that women whine about drama on facebook to their girlfriends for hours on end seems pretty sexist to me. unless this survey is specifically trying to disprove that, it seems pretty obvious that's what the survey is leaning towards i don't think you understand science. the survey isn't trying to prove anything. based on the questions, i can guess that it's likely looking at the relationships between gender, usage of online social networks and the type of conversations being used on these social networks. we don't know what his hypothesis is and even if it was that women tend to use social networks to discuss their problems with other females, what's the big deal? the data will speak for itself. data is not offensive, it is reality. that is, unless the methods for obtaining the data are biased. i don't see much potential for bias in this survey though. my biggest problem with it is that some of the questions were awkwardly worded and took a couple of seconds of rereading to totally understand. i think they should've been clearer.

Guest Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 lol, I understand science just fine. Just because something is a scientific survey doesn't mean it can't have leading or biased questions. but hey, I was raised by a militant feminist, so I might just be being paranoid.

tontonz1 Posted December 10, 2012 Author Share Posted December 10, 2012 Thanks everyone! You helped out tremendously in collecting data, though some of you skewed the results a bit haha. Im gunna have to write in the Discussion and Analysis section that a portion of the pooled data came from wattmtards. Hoodie and ganus are pretty close to guessing my hypothesis, but it's a more specific interaction in sharing problems online and life satisfaction that I was looking for in this study. Basically, I hypothesized that co-rumination on facebook chat decreased life satisfaction and that women would be more likely to use facebook to co-ruminate. After analyzing the results, I was not able to prove my hypothesis, however increased facebook time strongly correlated with life satisfaction and co-rumination, which was nearly the complete opposite of what I thought it was going to be. Women also reported more facebook friends, more facebook time, and a stronger connection to facebook than men. I could have definitely made the questions on the facebook chat questions clearer to understand. I actually used one of my professor's scale (Dr. Rose) who created the co-rumination concept, just had to re-iterate them to apply to facebook.

Braintree Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I stopped talking about my problems online when I was in highschool. Excluding watmm, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
