Kidscape Cybersurvey
This questionnaire assesses many avenues and is targeted at 11 – 18 year olds.. It not only looks at what young people access online but also how they act online and the motives behind these activities. In addition, it measures whether children see cyberspace as part of reality or fantasy. So the results have the potential to be really eye-opening and hopefully a catalyst for further vital research.
It is an online survey with 20 short questions in total, so should take no longer than 5 minutes to fill in.
