Results

Below are the results from our survey. Each of the 10 graphs display the outcome for each of our 10 questions.



Chart No. 1 From the results above, we can see that more women than men took our survey. We thought there would be more of a blanace in gender.




Chart No. 2 From our survey results, we can see that the majority of students were older classmen. Also, we can see as the age progresses there are more people using Instagram (except 18 year olds).





Chart No. 3 From the results above, we can see that the majority of DePaul students (72.22%) have an Instagram account.




Chart No. 4 From the results above, we can see that 60.61% of DePaul students that have an Instagram tend to follow and interact with their family and friends rather than celebrities, athletes and bands/companies. We assumed that they were more likely to interact with their friends and family because social media is an easy way to connect with a large population. Since, our participants were DePaul University students then social media is a great way to connect with other students as well as friends and family from back home.




Chart No. 5 The results show that over half of DePaul students (52.78%) choose to edit and enhance their photos with Instagram. We assumed that almost all of DePaul students would choose to edit their photos with Instagram because of the apps popularity and convenience.




Chart No. 6 From our survey results, we can see that the majority of DePaul students upload pictures of their family/friends on Instagram. In addition, we can see that 25% of DePaul students upload pictures of themselves and the other 25% upload pictures of nature/scenery.




Chart No. 7 The results show that 86.11% of DePaul students use their cellphone camera to take pictures. We assumed that almost all of DePaul students would use their cellphone camera to take pictures because, nowadays, students have the most up to date technologies such as smart phones. The camera on a smart phone is usually very well crafted therefore the majority of DePaul students would use their phone to take pictures.




Chart No. 8 From the results above, we can see that most students use their cellphone to enhance photos (58.33%) rather than a computer (27.78%). We assumed that there would be a bigger gap than this because, nowadays, people use apps to do a lot of their work. This is because an app is more accessibile than a computer.




Chart No. 9 From our survey results, we can see that 70.97% of DePaul students use Instagram for social engagement while 67.74% use Instagram for documenting events.







Chart No. 10 The results show that the individual responses tend to differ for each participant. Although, a decent amount of DePaul students admitted that they had an Instagram because of the apps popularity.
