Question 6

Screen vs. Social

People spend significant time on smartphones, which may reduce face-to-face interactions. A psychologist wants to use a correlational technique to investigate if there is a relationship between daily smartphone screen time and the amount of face-to-face social interaction time.

Explain how you would conduct a study using the correlation technique to investigate if there is a relationship between daily smartphone screen time and face-to-face social interaction time. Justify your decisions as part of your explanation.

You must refer to:

  • how the participants would be obtained
  • how data for each of the measured variables would be obtained
  • the control of at least one extraneous variable.

You should use your own experience of practical activities to inform your response.
