Participants Wanted: Study of Audience Perceptions of Vlogging

Seeking participants aged 18-34 years old, who are frequent viewers of YouTube videos and fluent in English. Participants will be asked to take part in one 2-hour focus group with snacks provided.

This research project is about video blogs (vlogs) on YouTube. It aims to identify participants’ responses to a collection of videos. Your perception of individual videos, then the group of videos overall, will be assessed using a number of surveys asking for your reaction to each of the speakers in the videos. 

You will then be asked to take part in a group discussion to discuss different reactions the group had to the videos. The objective of this research is to understand how audiences react to YouTube content and different videos online.

Snacks and light refreshments provided.
