Limitations

In the end, there were still some limitations to the study. Since we chose to conduct the survey using the convenience method, one limitation we faced was a insignificant representation of the whole DePaul University student body. This is because our specific study included a limited sample of DePaul students who ranged in age from freshman to seniors. Since the sample size is relatively small compared to the university's total enrollment of undergraduate and graduate students, our survey results may have not accurately represented the entire population of DePaul. Additionally, since we used Survey Monkey to distribute and record the results from our surveys, we were only able to ask ten questions to our participants, whereas if we were allotted more questions, we may have been able to dig deeper into our research. By having more questions in our survey, we could have included more insight questions that would have given us understanding as to why our participants felt the way they did about using Instagram and sharing their photos online.
