The study (Pilot Study) I will be conducting explores Malaysian youth’s online and offline interactions and its link to youth’s openness to others (i.e Race). This study involves analysing youth’s activities and interactions within Facebook and to see how these are reflected by youth and brought forward into the offline (real life) environment. Through these interactions I would also like to see how participant’s identity shift over time. This pilot study will be conducted using Qualitative research methods (see below) on youth aged from 18 to 34 years old in 3 cities in the United Kingdom – Durham, Leeds and Birmingham. o Focus group session, Group of 5 – 7 people discussing the topics prepared by researcher in an informal setting. o In‐depth interviews One to One interview that will draw information from focus group interviews, participants’ experiences and to discuss participants’ Facebook statuses I will also provide participants with a set of guidelines and instructions on the focus groups session and in-­‐depth interviews, prior to the start of each activity. This information sheet comes with the Informed Consent Form which participants are asked to read and sign prior to joining the study. Please take note that audio recording and note taking will be conducted throughout the study. Participants have the right to refuse any form of recording by researcher. This study is voluntary and participants have the right to withdraw at any stages of the study. Please do not hesitate to contact (contact details provided above) me if you have any enquiries regarding this study. I thank you in advance for your time and support. Warmest Regards, Mazidah < Prev   Next >
