Research participants needed for social media experiment

Submitted by Sarif U. Patwary

Sarif Patwary, graduate student in the apparel, textiles, and interior design department, is conducting an experimental research study for a master's degree requirement. 

Patwary is studying the influence and impact of social media on users. Individuals are needed to participate in a two-week social media experiment, where they will visit and engage with a Facebook page providing information related to the apparel and textiles industry.

Participants must be a U.S. citizen, 18-34 years of age, have a Facebook account and be willing to actively participate during the two-week experiment period.

The research has been approved by Institutional Review Board at K-State. After completing the experiment, participants will be offered $30 gift card for volunteering.
