Part 2: Social Media Survey Analysis

In 75-100 words for each question below, analyze the results of your surveyed information (450-600 words total). Include the following in your reflection and support your answers with scholarly references and research:

  1. Can any of the questions be misunderstood?  Why or why not?

None of the survey’s questions can be misunderstood. The questions are written in a clear and efficient way, making it simple to understand what is being asked. Since this survey is aimed at social media users, the questions should be easy to understand. There are no open-ended questions because they are all formatted for an agree or disagree response, which eliminates the need for the participant to interpret the question. Since some questions may require further explanation, the answers to choose from allow for more intense feelings about the question.

  1. Are the questions biased or slanted? Why or why not?

Apart from being tailored to social media users, the questions are not biased or slanted in any way. There are questions about how people use social media in various ways, such as reading posts, networking, and posting pictures. The emphasis is not solely on professional or personal applications. There are also questions about how the participants feel about other people on social media. The fact that no specific social media platform is mentioned also contributes to the survey’s neutrality.

Is the wording of the questions leading or misleading? Why or why not? .……………for help with this assignment contact us via email Address: consulttutor10@gmail.com
