Social Media, Sociality, and Survey Research [EPUB ebook] 

Provides the knowledge and tools needed for the future of
survey research
The survey research discipline faces unprecedented challenges,
such as falling response rates, inadequate sampling frames, and
antiquated approaches and tools. Addressing this changing
landscape, Social Media, Sociality, and Survey
Research introduces readers to a multitude of new
techniques in data collection in one of the fastest developing
areas of survey research.
The book is organized around the central idea of a ‘sociality
hierarchy’ in social media interactions, comprised of three levels:
broadcast, conversational, and community based. Social
Media, Sociality, and Survey Research offers balanced
coverage of the theory and practice of traditional survey research,
while providing a conceptual framework for the opportunities social
media platforms allow. Demonstrating varying perspectives and
approaches to working with social media, the book features:

Social Media, Sociality, and Survey Research is an
important resource for survey researchers, market researchers, and
practitioners who collect and analyze data in order to identify
trends and draw reliable conclusions in the areas of business,
sociology, psychology, and population studies. The book is also a

survey methodology and market research.
