Social media and attention

We are interested in understanding how social media usage influences attention through a series of online computer tasks and a questionnaire.  This will take approximately 30 minutes to complete.

There is an opportunity to take part in a raffle with a first prize of £100 and three runner up prizes of £50.  After the survey is complete you will be asked if you wish to enter the raffle.  If Yes is selected you will be directed to a new webpage where you will enter your contact details.  Your survey responses remain anonymous. You do not have to take part in the raffle.

To take part in this study you should be aged 18-30 and use an iPhone. Additionally, you should only take part in the study if you consider yourself to have normal or corrected to normal vision. Additionally, please note that colour vision deficiency/colour blindness is an exclusion criterion due to the nature of the computerised tasks. If you suffer colour blindness or have any colour vision deficiency you should not take part in the study.
