We initialize our very first survey for the MapCDPerNets project via Prolific. We aim to collect data from 300 participants, based in Mexico, that are willing to participate in our survey and agree to donate their social media data i.e. Facebook and/or Instagram. We launched the survey in Mexico on January 30, 2025.
Setup of our survey
- We collect data on participants’ relationships and how they are related with each other, which we will do by means of a survey with name generators of a fixed size of 30 alters. Hence, every participant provide 30 alters of their personal network and give brief information about them and their relations. We also ask about the possibility of the relations between those 30 alters.
- As a complement to the survey responses, we ask the participants to donate their data by sharing their Data Donation Packages. This step requires the participants to request their data from a social media website, such as Facebook or Instagram or both, and download their data to their own devices. The Data Donation Packages will then be uploaded onto a server. We are able to match the survey responses with the social media data.
