The purpose of the study is to investigate the degree of your experience and behaviour associated with using social networking sites (i.e. Facebook) on the Internet. There are no "right" or "wrong" answers: the questionnaire will reflect your experience or lack of experience of using social networking sites on the Internet. Please note the following: This study involves an ANONYMOUS SURVEY. This questionnaire does not request your name and other personal details, therefore your details will not appear on the questionnaire or research outcome and the answers will be strictly confidential. Your participation in this study is very important to us. You may choose not to participate and you may stop participation at any time without any negative consequence. Please feel free to contact the researcher or the supervisor should you have any questions or comments regarding the study.
