challenges, such as falling response rates, inadequate sampling
frames, and antiquated approaches and tools. Addressing this changing
landscape, Social Media, Sociality, and Survey Research introduces

Research offers balanced coverage of the theory and practice of
traditional survey research, while providing a conceptual framework
for the opportunities social media platforms allow. Demonstrating
varying perspectives and approaches to working with social media, the
book features: New ways to approach data collection using platforms
such as Facebook and Twitter Alternate methods for reaching out to
interview subjects Design features that encourage participation with
engaging, interactive surveys Social Media, Sociality, and Survey
Research is an important resource for survey researchers, market
researchers, and practitioners who collect and analyze data in order
to identify trends and draw reliable conclusions in the areas of
business, sociology, psychology, and population studies. The book is
also a useful text for upper-undergraduate and graduate-level courses
on survey methodology and market research.
