Based off an Undergrad Project I took in Community College in late 2019 in my Psychology course, PSYC 255: Introduction to Psychological Research where we studied the association between Media Usage (specifically TV) and its effects on Sleep Quality.
Research Question: This research study explored the association between watching media, specifically television, and its effects on sleep quality. Using a custom survey, our team collected data from a sample of students (n=21) from our Psychology class.
Hypothesis: We predicted that increased media and television usage would contribute to a lower quality of sleep.
Research Question: This new updated Data Project is still exploring the same association between Media Usage and Sleep Quality. The only difference is the mathematical data and the analysis sections. The datasets I will be using are the same ones given from that course.
Hypothesis: In similaritiy to the previous work, I predicted that increased media and television usage would contribute to a lower quality of sleep.
Do I have permisssion to use this data? As all of the data I have is from an open-ended survey I had conducted in Undergrad, I do not see a problem with using it for this project.
Are there potential biases in your dataset(s), in terms of who it composes, and how it was collected, that may be problematic in terms of it allowing for equitable analysis? All of the data collected was in a very small class and in the form of a survey. Everyone in my class took the survey so we had about n=21 students participate. There was no randomization or any other form of selection techniques. There is a high chance that this data is no longer useful, as it was also prior to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
What will you be doing with this data? I do not intend to ever use this project for monetary use, this is strictly for educational purposes only.
