Abstract
These data come from a questionnaire of over 400 Internet users, focusing specifically on Facebook and those users who have left the service. Results are reported in Baumer, E. P. S., Adams, P., Khovanskaya, V., Liao, T., Smith, M., Sosik, V. S., & Williams, K. (2013). Limiting, Leaving, and (re)Lapsing: A Survey of Facebook Non-use Practices and Experiences. Proceedings of the ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI).
Description
This archive includes three types of files. First, FBLL-SurveyDescription.pdf and FBLL-SurveyDescription.txt both provide a description of the survey instrument, including the text of the survey questions and branching logic about when questions are or are not shown. Second, FBLL-SurveyData.csv contains 410 anonymized responses received to the survey. Purely nonsensical or unusable responses have been removed. Third, for those who use Qualtrics online survey software, FBLL-QualtricsFile.qsf contains an export of the survey questions and branching logic compatible with the Qualtrics.
