The Research of Wechat

With the advent of computers and related technologies of communication, the nature of communication has changed drastically. There are some positive highlights to this change as well as negative highlights to this change based on my experience. In my younger years, the only form of communication was one on one communication or writing through snail mail. However, this is not the case today. Today, I make use of emails, social media, and other chatting forums to communicate both professionally and personally to family, friends, and relatives. I have found this change to have its advantages as well as disadvantages. In this paper, I will discuss how computer-mediated communication has aided my communication as well as how it compares to the type of communication that was available during my younger years. In addition, I will give a comparison between computer-mediated communication and person-to-person communication.

The participation rate among the three schools was over 95%. In order to take part in the studies, the school sent home consent forms to the parents to inform them what kind of studies were going to be performed. If the student returned the consent form signed, then they were able to take part in the experiment. The students were then given directions on how to complete the surveys and assistance was given if necessary. (Cyr, B et al

A questionnaire is a list of a research or survey questions asked to respondents, and designed to extract quantitative date. Questionnaires are easily distributed to the community and can be completed and collected on the spot or be emailed or posted back to the researcher. Self completed questionnaires are the most common survey as they are cheap and can be passed to a lot of people. Some sociologists tend not to use questionnaires because of their low response rate and lack of validity. Also, some people may give false information so some researchers like to stick to interviews and experiments for increased accuracy. I will explore why sociologists shy away from using questionnaires.

The population is undergraduate students of UM and we eliminated the unsuitable sample based on the information of questionnaires (exclude the outliers, blank questionnaire, context is contradictory and so on). Then we selected 30 questionnaires per college year which year 1 to year 4 (30*4=120) from all the completed questionnaires. We used convenience sampling method to distribute the online questionnaires openly. And we received the completed questionnaires online which are from google form.

Data collected from research already conducted will be analyzed for limitations and to conduct a comparative analysis of the results. The survey completed by classmates will be used to collect

In this chapter, I will analyse the data according to the principles proposed, such as Likert’s scale. According to the data collected, I will come out with certain conclusions to predict the respondents’

We all know what Chatroulette is supposed to be used for, and what it’s actually used for by countless people online…surely at least one person reading this article has had the misfortune of stumbling upon an “unpleasant surprise” while trying the website out; but several users were recently met with a much more fun and unexpected surprise: a live action real life zombie game in which they were controlling the character they saw on their screen.

Findings of these research data results were stated as producing interesting patterns, yet concerns with the validity due to a small subject population size with not all students completing the surveys. The first survey produced a small outcome of only 56% of student completion rate, and the

The questionnaire was circulated among the under-graduate students of Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto Institue of Science and Technology, Karachi. All the participants of the research study were required to fill online survey designed on Google forms. Participants who took part in the study were between the ages from 17-27. After removal of the incomplete set of questionnaires, total of 50 out of 66 questionnaires were accepted and analyzed. Therefore, the total number of respondents, n=50 Males: n=38 (58.5%), Females: n=27

The acceleration of social processes is clearly present in the application Chatroulette. The website is used selectively. Users click ‘next’ till they find a person that gets their interest. Time spend with one person means no time spend with another person or missing out a very interesting encounter. In interaction on Chatroulette only lasts about 3 seconds (Anderson, 2010).

During this lesson students will utilize survey data to analyze social media habits and news preferences of a particular audience. The survey will help students create a large scale profile for that audience. In addition, teachers may pull from the text listed in the ‘Supplies needed’ section on this document to introduce the fundamentals of survey creation and application. The information in this text also helps to guide students in their analysis of survey data to ensure it is properly interpreted and presented.

The survey was distributed by email, text, paper format, and mobile applications, and data was collected by researches in the same way.

It is extremely important to understand the traits of social media and the human factors impacting technology because if we did not, there would be a lot more miscommunications and misunderstandings between people. For example, social media users need to understand that social media communication is limited compared to face to face communication. Factors such as Temporal Structure, which is the time it takes to send and receive a message, affect how effective social media communication is. Also, Asynchronous communication, which is communication that occurs when participants are not co-present, could cause communication problems because the people who are communicating might not be as involved in a conversation. Tone and other signs that people give off to relay emotions and messages are not present in many social communication forms as well.

In today’s world, everyone is surrounded by technology everywhere for example, our smart phones can connect to the web along with instant messaging to anywhere in the world. A study by Levine, Waite, and Bowman examines how the relationship between the new collaborative technologies such as instant messaging (IMing) have great impact of the capability of students to stay concentrated on their academic tasks. Accordingly, the authors not only examined the consequences on continuous interruptions of IMing however, they also explored at the consequences of multitasking with their schoolwork. In the study, it was hypothesized that those students who spent a huge amount of time on IMing, they have a tough time focusing on their school tasks such as academic reading. The method authors used to test their hypothesis was by making students to do survey that have 55 item questionnaire that is structured to find out how much each student use electronic media in terms of IMing and what are the few ways they are using instant messaging.

In addition, how the parents communicate with teenagers about social media is also important to the research. The sample group is focus on parents whom have 13-19 years old children can participate in the survey. The sample size need 50 participants which include 15 questions about what they think about the influence of social media and how they build effective communication with teenagers. I obtain the samples from different secondary school entrance since I know some parents will pick up their children outside the school. The survey only has one long question and the other 14 questions are multiple choices as I consider adults don’t have much time to participate because of working. $20 Coles vouchers will provide to 50 parents participants after they finished the survey.
