After posting the same status update about the survey over and over again, I realize that I might not receive any additional survey responses – the last response was turned in two days ago. At the moment, I have 16 different responses.
Though I will more thoroughly explore my results next week, I’ve found some data that backs up my (hypo)thesis and none that directly contradicts it. As I mentioned on Wednesday, the terminology was less clear than it should have been, which likely affected how people answered their questions. (Translation: Framing is everything. Marshall McLuhan would yell, “I told you so!”)
I’ve realized yet another limitation to my study. I should have considered posting survey links/invitations on Twitter on a daily basis, too. I have more Twitter followers than I do Facebook friends. As expected, the folks I regularly converse with on Twitter are more diverse when it comes to their overall backgrounds than my Facebook friends.
Oh, and I also need to write two annotated bibliographies (one of which was due this past Sunday).
