Hello! We are a group working for a CM321 research project. Our objective of this survey is to determine how social media usage (specifically Instagram and Snapchat) impacts the love lives of BU undergrads; we also wish to explore how relationship status affects how people use these apps. This will only take a few minutes of your time. Your responses are anonymous and will not be published anywhere. Thank you for your time!
Please indicate which gender you currently identify as:
Please select your university year below:
How often do you use (or used to use) Snapchat while you've been in a romantic relationship? Please choose the option that best represents the relation of Snapchat’s use and an offline romantic relationship in your case.
How often do you use Instagram while you've been in a romantic relationship?
Do you feel the urge to post content related to your relationship status on Instagram and/or Snapchat?
Do you find it easier to reach out to a romantic interest via Instagram/Snapchat as opposed to other forms of contact (calling, texting, face-to-face, etc.)?
Do you feel like these social media platforms have been necessary in order to maintain your romantic relationships?
Since you've been in college, have you been more likely to give a romantic interest your phone number or your social media handles (Instagram and/or Snapchat only)
