VIDEOGAME/TECHNOLOGY SURVEY

In Psy 101, we have been talking about different methods utilized by Psychologists for collecting data. In addition, as part of the first writing assignment, students had to write an essay on their opinion about whether or not videogames/technology has a positive/negative impact on society. As part of this process, I summarized the data from these assignments and came out with the following results:

TOTAL for POSITIVE IMPACT: 13

TOTAL for NEGATIVE IMPACT: 19

TOTAL for CAN BE BOTH POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE: 7

It serves as a good example of how survey methods can be utilized to collect data on complex questions as part of the research process.
