3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
