THE AIM OF SURVEY

To find out what children and their parents

think about the exposure and time spent

on Social Media versus time spent

with friends and family.

METHODS AND TECHNIQUES USED

The research method used to conduct the survey:

Descriptive research and Questionnaire.

There were used two questionnaires: one for children, another for parents, as the perception and answers of adults may be different from young people.

Every question should be answered by scaling using Likert Scale.

METHODS AND TECHNIQUES USED

Questionnaire method offers very good answers and information.

After collecting the Questionnaire forms, the responses will be analysed using

Qualitative and Quantitative methods.

TYPE OF QUESTIONS

The questions relate to views of teens and their parents about Social Networking and how its use affects family relationships.

Parents and children will answer questions separately, anonymous, each in privacy and without the presence of any other person.

Analysis of the results will provide a picture of how respondents understand the influence that Social Networking has on the relationships between them. It will also indicate if there are correlations between time spent online and real-life relationships.
