Quantitative Research on Perceptions of Texas Tech University Students about Social Media

Abstract

This paper is a quantitative research on perceptions of Texas Tech University students about social media. I conducted this research for my academic writing class. In this research, I wanted to know about Texas Tech (TTU) students’ perceptions on five different features of social media: social media and their security, the most well-liked kind of social media, social media and constructing students’ identity, social media and social change, and social media and students’ happiness. In this regard, I had some assumptions, and then I examined the correctness of them by conducting surveys among two hundred and ninety-six students at TTU. I also engaged twelve articles about social media to deepen the content of my hypotheses and arguments. The goal for writing this paper was practicing academic writing through social science research. Thus, the results of the research are not scientifically valid, mainly due to the limited numbers of the surveys. (Niloofar Gholamrezaei)
