What you CAN Do:<\/p>\n

\n
1. Collected Data MUCH faster and more accurately than before<\/li>\n
2. Use Word Mapper App, very good for linguistic data collection<\/li>\n
3. Gets rid of…\n
   \n
   • Bradley effect:<\/em>\u00a0People tend to tell researchers what they think they want to hear<\/li>\n
   • Response bias:<\/em>\u00a0The sample of people willing to do an experiment\/survey differ in a meaningful way from the population as a whole<\/li>\n
   • Observer\u2019s paradox\/Hawthorne effect:<\/em>\u00a0People change their behavior when they know they\u2019re being observed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     What you CANT Do:<\/p>\n

     \n
     1. Can’t be sure what the source of your data is: Have no clue what general demographic categories your sample represents<\/li>\n
     2. Inherent Sampling Bias:\u00a0Social media users tend to be\u00a0from wealthy, educated, industrialized, rich and democratic societies.<\/li>\n
     3. Unable to violate developer’s agreements:\u00a0Developer\u2019s agreements vary between platforms, but most limit the amount of data you can fetch and store, and how and if you can share it with other researchers. (ex. 50000 Tweets for Twitter)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        What you SHOULD\u00a0Do:<\/p>\n

        \n
        1. Respect the wishes of users.\u00a0There are three principles of ethical human subjects research:<\/span>\n
           \n
           1. Respect for Persons<\/strong>: People should be anonymous and be guaranteed protection<\/li>\n
           2. Beneficence<\/strong>:\u00a0 Maximize possible benefits, minimize possible harms (NEVER harm)<\/li>\n
           3. Justice<\/strong>: Both the risks and benefits of research should be distributed equally.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
           4. Safeguard their best interests: Be careful of the data you take, make sure that it won’t hurt ANY of the subjects personally.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
