Design Methodology 2: Weekly Capstone Updates

Week 8:

This week I have slowed my pace down a bit, but I think it was much needed. I have been feeling overwhelmed by my capstone project. Taking more time to do research has made progressing less stressful.

On Monday, I sent out my survey to a group chat filled with 80+ college students (my audinece). So far, I have received ten responses. Out of those responses, my hypothesis that social media has a ton on mental health is apparent in college students. Participants commonly noted that FOMO, comparison, and social media addiction were negative aspects of social media. On top of that, 70% of people said that they have deleted a social media account because it was affecting their mental health.

I really feel like I took this week to recharge, and, like I said, it was needed. For the next part of my research, I will conduct interviews and complete the Round Robin exercise.
