How does social networking contribute to your sense of community?
One person says, "I use it to 'creep'" That's it. Just to creep. I hope more people answer with that response so I can add a section to a pie chart on the happiness level of creepers.
Well, I guess I can say I successfully designed the survey for people to answer truthfully!
Going through these answers though, I wish I would not have stressed that the survey took "just a couple minutes to fill out." I wish I would have had more time in each town to seek out the same amount of people, but only those who didn't feel pressured to fill it out or were in a hurry. I have a lot of missing answers. "Do you feel you are more or less happy than your friends and family?" is a question two which many have responded "yes." THAT IS NOT A YES/NO QUESTION.
Question one is "on a scale of 1-10, how happy are you?" Farther down the survey, I ask them to rate their friends' happiness. The next question right after it states, "Do you feel like you are more or less happy than your friends?" It seems repetitive but the answers are far from it. Let's say 'Joe' rates his happiness as an 8. He says his friends are a 7. He says he is happier than his friends. The next survey, 'Todd' rates his happiness as a 4. His friends' happiness level is an 8. He STILL says he is happier than his friends. Why do people answer in this manner? The survey is very short so it would be hard to forget that they put a '4' as their happiness level just 45 seconds earlier.
Why does everyone, despite contradicting statements from moments earlier, say they are happier than everyone around them?
