Social Media and Conflict
Hello! 

Thank you for taking the time to answer this questionnaire! 

As the title suggests, this questionnaire has been made in order to see if there is any correlation between use of social media platforms and engagement in online conflict. Everything is completely anonymous, and the data will be used in a thesis on the topic. I hope you will spend a little time completing the questionnaire. 

Thank you in advance, and have a great day!
