Dear Participant!

A new survey is currently being developed at Sigmund Freud Private University under the supervision of Mag. Dr. Mario Lehenbauer-Baum.

This new questionnaire examines how people use social media and also asks about their attitudes toward social media, and it takes max. 5 to 10 mins. to provide your answers.

A pool of possible statements has been created for this purpose. These statements are now being presented as part of a preliminary study so that the questionnaire can later be further refined statistically.

We do not collect any demographic information is collected; we only ask abot the daily and weekly duration of social media use in hours as well as your age (in order to exclude data from individuals under 18 years of age).

You have the right to withdraw your participation in the questionnaire at any time by simply closing the window.

By clicking “Next,” you confirm that you are at least 18 years old, that you have been informed about the purpose and aim of the study, and you agree to take part in this preliminary prestudy and to have your data used anonymously for further statistical analysis.

Your participation greatly helps us to improve this questionnaire statistically at a later stage, and we would like to sincerely thank you for taking part.

If you have any questions, Mag. Dr. Mario Lehenbauer-Baum will be happy to assist you at the email address mario.lehenbauer@sfu.ac.at.

Kind regards,

Dr. Mario Lehenbauer-Baum
