This will allow me to get different view points from 2 different methods and then I will be able to analyze the data together. #edresearch7130

[Caleigh Dickey @CaleighDickey]

I can provide a survey for student's to take to receive quantitative data and an interview to receive qualitative data. #edresearch7130

Research design: I will use mixed methods research design. I will use qualitative research to see how social media is making college students feel mentally. I will use quantitative research to analyze their academic statuses and their time spent on social media #edresearch7130

Research question: How does social media impact a college student's mental health and academics based on their usage? #edresearch7130

[Caleigh Dickey @CaleighDickey]

Research purpose: Determine how students feel about their social media habits and what their grades are like in their courses varying on the amount of time they spend on social media vs. studying. Also looking at their mental health state based on social media. #edresearch7130

I have chosen this design so that I can analyze the effects and information given from the pre-test/post-test after I have had them scroll through a pre-made social media page with various topics and posts. #Edresearch7130

[Caleigh Dickey @CaleighDickey]

The post-test will be a mix of closed-ended questions and open ended questions regarding how they feel after spending the allotted time on social media and if they think it would effect them if they tried to do school work. #Edresearch7130

[Caleigh Dickey @CaleighDickey]

I will use an experimental research design using a pre-test and a post-test. The pre-test will consist of open ended questions that ask about their social media use, mental health, and their grades. #Edresearch7130

[Caleigh Dickey @CaleighDickey]

The independent variable of my study will be the college students who participate in the study. The dependent variable is social media. This study will only have a treatment group that interacts on social media. #Edresearch7130

[Caleigh Dickey @CaleighDickey]

Hypothesis: Students who spend more time on social media struggle more with their mental health and their academics. #Edresearch7130

[Caleigh Dickey @CaleighDickey]

Research question: How do the effects of social media influence a college student's mental health and their ability to be successful academically? #Edresearch7130

[Caleigh Dickey @CaleighDickey]

The purpose of my research is to analyze the effects that social media has on a college student's mental health and academic achievement. #Edresearch7130

[Caleigh Dickey @CaleighDickey]

I will then have them rate their happiness before and after spending time on social media. #edresearch7130

[Caleigh Dickey @CaleighDickey]

I will use the qualitative design of ethnography. I have chosen this design because I will find a group of students and spend time with them a few days a week, observing their time on social media and their perceived moods. #Edresearch7130

[Caleigh Dickey @CaleighDickey]

Research question: Depending on how many hours a college student spends on social media each day, what is their mental health status? #edresearch7130

[Caleigh Dickey @CaleighDickey]

The purpose of my study is to determine if social media has an effect on a college student’s mental health. #edresearch7130
