    RESEARCH QUESTION
    Why do many students in your school(s) smoke?
    Method
    What was the method?
    • Online anonymous questionnaire
    • Research from previous social science surveys about smoking
    • Connecting natural and human science by comparison of
    smoking and cancer statistics.
    Why has this method been selected?
    • To ensure that the interviewee feels safe,
    • To try to ensure that the collected data is not askew due to
    Hawthorne’s effect
    How were participants selected?
    • According to the research question, the participants of
    the study should be teenagers, therefore I have sent the
    survey to the students at my school, but also to a group
    for IB students, ensuring a wide range of data.
    How was the truthfulness of responses tracked?

    Method • In order to allow people to feel more comfortable, I have


    allowed them to stay anonymous, therefore they most
    likely have given truer data than they would’ve if they
    were forced to give their personal data.
    How large was the sample size?
    • Overall, over 300 responses have been collected through
    the Google Form.
    Results
    How were the answers found?
     In order to find possible answers to the research question, I have prepared a selection of reasons for
    smoking, as well as allowed the participants to write their own responses, these have then been put
    into categories to create a more concrete data set.
