Research Opportunity
How do older adults perceive younger generations in social media?

Hi, I am Ezgi Tasyurek, a second-year Ph.D. student in the Experimental Psychology Program at the University of Ottawa. Currently, I am conducting an online survey to understand how older individuals perceive social media posts. The study is based on several social media posts, questions following the posts, and demographic questions. Your participation will contribute valuable insights to our understanding of this topic.

The survey will take about 20 minutes to complete. I aim to collect data from adults 65 years old and older who can understand and read English. I would appreciate it if you take the time to participate.

If you meet the criteria and have the time, please press the button below to access the survey.
Should you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at etasy026@uottawa.ca.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
