Facebook dissertation help!!

I completed it.

 

I completed it, although I don't use Facebook very much.

 

I don't mean to be cynical, but isn't this survey asking for quite a lot of personal information?

Surely my name, age, gender, email address and place of residence is a lot to ask on a survey about privacy?

I completed it, but I didn't fill out the first 5 questions 100% truthfully. I didn't deviate too far from the truth though, to try to keep the results valid.

 

I agree. Age and gender are ok, obviously they can be used to compare between groups of people....but name and email address are unnecessary.

 

Only three pieces of information you should have asked from me were:

Age, Country and Gender.

 

some questions

I understand not wanting to give name and email, but it's a perfectly legit request if the op is really going to use this in a dissertation. Anonymous online surveys are not usable in any serious research.

On the other hand, Bushra, I don't see any IRB information. I'm not comfortable filling it out either without comments about the privacy of the data you're collecting, a statement as to how the data will be used, that kind of basic irb stuff.

 

I understand that you might need email for verification purposes but no, you're not having that.

 

Just completed it.

Few tips: wording of the questions wasn't always that great. Also, you should have a "maybe" or "don't know" option to get more correct data. Making folk choose yes or no doesn't always get the most accurate statistics. A few of the questions, I'd have chosen "don't know" or "maybe" because it isn't something I had really considered.
