An Analysis of Social Media Usage Among College Students

This report presents the findings of a survey conducted among 20 college students in Australia, examining their social media usage. The study assessed personal social media use, gender, preferred platforms, and time spent. Key findings reveal that students spend an average of 3.15 hours daily on social media, with Facebook being the most preferred platform, followed by Instagram and Twitter. The survey indicates no significant association between gender and preferred social media type, although female students tend to spend more time on these platforms. The report includes descriptive statistics, hypothesis testing (Chi-square and t-tests), and ANOVA analysis to explore these relationships. The limitations of the study include a small sample size. The study concludes with recommendations for further research into student social media behavior.
