  1. I can't tell if this is rhetorical or not, but the survey was simply to see a correlation between several variables. No where did it ever turn to push people into a certain direction because that would defeat the purpose of the whole study. I even received feedback from some of my participants (several of which are much more qualified than I am) and never brought up any specific instance of bias. Our teacher strictly prohibited inputting bias for obvious reasons.
  2. I realize I should have explained that more thoroughly. What I mean by "educated" is more than just schooling. For example, as part of this project I conducted a survey, and the first few questions pertained to the answerer's level of school education (high school all the way up to a Doctoral Degree) but also the learning they receive outside of schooling such as on social media. So, I asked questions on how much they interact with or observe online social platforms and how often they come across the topic of nuclear power. Yet, although a person could have learned more, what they learned, specifically on social media, may not always be true, adding to the second factor you brought up. You can look through the survey here if you want: College Research Survey.pdf
  3. Hello, I am conducting a college research project on the correlation between different levels of education and viewpoints on the use of nuclear energy. My hypothesis is that the more educated a person is, the more they may understand this topic (a commonly frightening subject to many people), and thus they may see the net positives more than the negatives of nuclear power. I am reaching out to this forum to receive some more diverse feedback on this topic and people's own ideas on this correlation (if there is a correlation at all, just a hypothesis after all). I just want to hear people's thoughts and maybe their own viewpoints on nuclear energy as well. Thank you
