According to a study conducted during the first quarter of 2022, ** percent of children’s apps hosted in the Google Play Store and ** percent of apps hosted in the Apple App Store transmitted users’ locations to advertisers. Additionally, ** percent of kids’ apps were found to collect persistent identifiers, such as users’ IP addresses, which could potentially lead to Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) violations in the United States.

    Description

    This database is comprised of 951 participants who provided self-report data online in their school classrooms. The data was collected in 2016 and 2017. The dataset is comprised of 509 males (54%) and 442 females (46%). Their ages ranged from 12 to 16 years (M = 13.69, SD = 0.72). Seven participants did not report their age. The majority were born in Australia (N = 849, 89%). The next most common countries of birth were China (N = 24, 2.5%), the UK (N = 23, 2.4%), and the USA (N = 9, 0.9%). Data were drawn from students at five Australian independent secondary schools. The data contains item responses for the Spence Children’s Anxiety Scale (SCAS; Spence, 1998) which is comprised of 44 items. The Social media question asked about frequency of use with the question “How often do you use social media?”. The response options ranged from constantly to once a week or less. Items measuring Fear of Missing Out were included and incorporated the following five questions based on the APS Stress and Wellbeing in Australia Survey (APS, 2015). These were “When I have a good time it is important for me to share the details online; I am afraid that I will miss out on something if I don’t stay connected to my online social networks; I feel worried and uncomfortable when I can’t access my social media accounts; I find it difficult to relax or sleep after spending time on social networking sites; I feel my brain burnout with the constant connectivity of social media. Internal consistency for this measure was α = .81. Self compassion was measured using the 12-item short-form of the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS-SF; Raes et al., 2011).

Substance Use: Two items measuring peer influence on alcohol consumption were adapted from the SHAHRP “Patterns of Alcohol Use” measure (McBride, Farringdon & Midford, 2000). These items were “When I am with friends I am quite likely to drink too much alcohol” and “Substances (alcohol, drugs, medication) are the immediate way I respond to my thoughts about a situation when I feel distressed or upset.

    Description

    For this project, data from 24-hour time diaries probing several indicators of social capital and life quality were gathered to update prior time series on how Americans spend time. Data were collected to be consistent with time-diary collections prepared in 1965, 1975, and 1985 (see ICPSR 7254, 7580, and 9875) to allow cross-time comparisons. The survey was conducted by the Survey Research Center at the University of Maryland between March 1998 and December 1999 (effectively covering each season of the year and each day of the week) with a representative sample of 1,151 respondents aged 18 and older. Using established time-diary procedures with Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI), respondents were asked to complete "yesterday" time diaries detailing their primary activities from midnight to midnight of the previous day, their secondary activities (e.g., activities that occurred simultaneously with the primary activities), and when, with whom, and where they engaged in the activities. The project focus included the following substantive and methodological areas: (1) time spent in social interaction, particularly parental time with children, (2) measurement problems in time estimates, (3) activity and social interaction patterns of elderly Americans, and (4) time spent on the Internet and effects on social isolation and other media usage. In addition to the estimates of time use obtained from the time diaries, the project elicited information on (1) marital and parental status, education and employment status of the respondent and spouse (if married), age, race/ethnicity, and family income, (2) weekly and previous-day recall estimates of time spent on paid employment, housework, religious activities, and television viewing, (3) feelings of time pressure, and (4) use of the Internet, e-mail, and home computers.

    Description

    Through social media like Instagram, users are constantly exposed to “perfect” lives and bodies. Research in this field has predominantly focused on the mere time youth spend on Instagram and the effects on their body image, oftentimes uncovering negative effects. Little research has been done on the root of the influence: the consumed content itself. Hence, this study aims to qualitatively uncover the types of content that trigger youths’ body image. Using a diary study, 28 youth (Mage = 21.86; 79% female) reported 140 influential body image Instagram posts over five days, uncovering trigger points and providing their motivations, emotions, and impacts on body image. Based on these posts, four content categories were distinguished: Thin Ideal, Body Positivity, Fitness, and Lifestyle. These different content types triggered different emotions regarding body image, and clear gender distinctions in content could be noticed. The study increased youths’ awareness of Instagram's influence on their mood and body perception. The findings imply that the discussion about the effects of social media on body image should be nuanced, taking into account different types of content and users. Using this information, future interventions could focus on conscious use of social media rather than merely limiting its use.

    Description

    The data in question was generated using the Faker library and is not authentic real-world data. In recent years, there have been numerous reports suggesting the presence of bot voting practices that have resulted in manipulated outcomes within data science competitions. As a result of this, the idea for creating a simulated dataset arose. Although this is the first time that this dataset has been created, it is open to feedback and constructive criticism in order to improve its overall quality and significance.

    Description

    The purpose of "The Time Budget Survey 1980-81" is to gather a comprehensive overview over how the population spends its time on different activities. The Time Budget Surveys are our most important source of information about how much and what types of unpaid work are performed in society, who performs this work, and when it is performed. The Time Budget Surveys also contain data not found in other surveys, e.g., information about circadian rhythms, leisure activities, and time people spend with their children and the rest of the family. The Time Budget Survey was first carried out in Norway in 1972-1973 and was originally inspired by the international survey "Comparative Time-Budget Projecet", where the same survey program was used in 12 different countries (A. Szalai (red.): The Use of Time, 1965-66). The 1980-81 survey is the second of its kind in Norway and is carried with a view to secure comparability with the results from the international survey. The data is mainly collected by diaries kept by a selection of the population. In addition, participants are asked to answer questions in a face-to-face interview. The survey consists of questions about the time use in then following areas: 1. Work 2. Work-related travels 3. Private work; hereunder housework, maintenance, childcare, purchasing and travels 4. Personal needs 5. Education 6. Leisure; hereunder sports and outdoor activities, entertainment, social interaction, media og reading This dataset contains the data for the interviews. The diaries are documented in a separate file.

    Description

    This survey monitors changes in time use to better understand how Canadians spend and manage their time and what contributes to their well-being and stress. The data collected provides information to all level of governments when making funding decisions, developing priorities and identifying areas of concern for legislation, new policies and programs. Researchers and other users use this information to inform the general Canadian population about the changing nature of time use in Canada such as: Are we working too many hours and spending too much time commuting? Do we have flexible work schedules? Do we have enough time to play sports, participate in leisure activities or volunteer? Are we spending enough quality time with our children, our families and our friends? How has the internet and social media affected the way we spend our time? Are we satisfied with our lives? Statistical activity This record is part of the General Social Survey (GSS) program. The GSS originated in 1985. Each survey contains a core topic, focus or exploratory questions and a standard set of socio-demographic questions used for classification. More recent cycles have also included some qualitative questions, which explore intentions and perceptions.

Description

How much time do people spend on social media? As of 2025, the average daily social media usage of internet users worldwide amounted to 141 minutes per day, down from 143 minutes in the previous year. Currently, the country with the most time spent on social media per day is Brazil, with online users spending an average of 3 hours and 49 minutes on social media each day. In comparison, the daily time spent with social media in the U.S. was just 2 hours and 16 minutes. Global social media usageCurrently, the global social network penetration rate is 62.3 percent. Northern Europe had an 81.7 percent social media penetration rate, topping the ranking of global social media usage by region. Eastern and Middle Africa closed the ranking with 10.1 and 9.6 percent usage reach, respectively. People access social media for a variety of reasons. Users like to find funny or entertaining content and enjoy sharing photos and videos with friends, but mainly use social media to stay in touch with current events friends. Global impact of social mediaSocial media has a wide-reaching and significant impact on not only online activities but also offline behavior and life in general. During a global online user survey in February 2019, a significant share of respondents stated that social media had increased their access to information, ease of communication, and freedom of expression. On the flip side, respondents also felt that social media had worsened their personal privacy, increased a polarization in politics and heightened everyday distractions.
