Social Media Usage Analysis


Research Topic: Social Media

Target: Japanese University students

Number of respondents: (22)


(Summary) Students answered 11 questions about their individual social media habits.

(Results)


First off, everybody said I could use their data. Mwahahaha.

So far 8/22 responses are from Japanese students, there will be a few more by the end of the semester.

Looks like most of my friends are boys.

Most people appear to be 18-20 years old, crikey I'm old.

Initially, I'd listed every social media platform I could think of off the cuff, but I feel kinda silly not including WhatsApp as an option, considering I’d be asking Europeans, oops!

In terms of hours spent online, it looks like mostly a bell curve centering around the 3-4 hour mark.

Looks like people that think before they post are more common that those that post without a second thought.

I was initially expecting answers to lean toward presentation, but looks like I was wrong, and results point slightly opposite toward authenticity. I suppose no authenticity feels corporate and impersonal.

People seem to lean toward hiding negative emotions online. Maybe I should've specified towards public versus private-facing accounts.

From the following free response answers, you can see some respondents were very specific with their answers lol.


(CONCLUSION)

Yeah that's all for now. When initially looking at the results, it was only then that I'd gotten the thought to include a question about whether someone's profile was searchable, or if you could effectively only add them via QR code. I notice some people will have their name in their profile, but using a font different from the default, therefore it doesn't come up in search results just searching their name ordinarily. I'm not sure if this is a matter of aesthetic, or purposefully making someone's profile harder to find. Overall, I didn't have a clear idea of what I was looking for initially making this survey, but I wished I'd focused more on the privacy aspects. Lafleur, in case I forget to ask you about this, please remind me, because I'm interested in getting better results now that I have this hindsight.

I usually tell people I'm from Los Angeles because that's a place in California everybody knows about, because if I say the area I'm actually from people tend to feel a little lost. Ventura (where I live) is one county directly west of LA, and further left of that is Santa Barbara. If you're ever vacationing to Cali, I recommend Santa Barbara, because there's better beaches and scenery, whereas LA is filled with homeless people and smells like piss. Camarillo (usually dubbed "Cam" for short) is the city I'm from within Ventura, with a population of about 70k people. Definitely not big city but also not the middle of nowhere, it's a small town where you'll know plenty of people but not meet them every day. Many of my friends agree that Cam is the "loading screen" between the cities surrounding it, since there's really nothing to do. Most residents are basically retirees and old people, so as a result, pretty much the only activitie...

Counter-strike 2 (dubbed CS2 for short) is the direct sequel to Counter-strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) and is a game I have mixed feelings about, despite having poured 2,000+ hours of my life into. That may sound like a lot, but pros will generally have 10,000+ hours, so I've only wasted 1/5 of the time compared to them. In this game, you play as one of two teams in a 5v5. As a terrorist (T), your objective is to plant the bomb on one of two sites in the map, and detonate it before the CT's can defuse it. As a counterterrorist (CT), your goal is to prevent the T's from planting, or defuse the bomb once it's down. The bomb detonates after 40 seconds, so many rounds keep you on the edge of your seat, anticipating whether the bomb will explode, or if CT's will be able to defuse it in time. One match consists of 24 rounds total: 12 on one side,  teams switch, and the first to 13 wins. In the case that both teams reach 12:12, an overtime of 6 rounds (3 each side) is he...

cheesy introduction
