- Data collection in Internet environment in social representations studies Joao Fernando Rech Wachelke Brigido Vizeu Camargo Samuel Lincoln Bezerra Lins Aline Vieira de Lima Nunes Psicología aging soccer Brazil Internet based research The present study aimed at comparing social representations structures concerning data collection procedures: through internet forms, diffused in the WWW, and through conventional paper and pencil questionnaire methods. O verall 893 individuals participated in the research, 58% of whom were female. A total of 217 questionnaires about the social representation on football (soccer) and 218 about the representation on aging were answered by Brazilian university students in classrooms. Electronic versions of the same instrument were diffused through an internet forum linked to the same university. There were 238 answers for the football questionnaire and 230 for the aging one. The instrument asked participants to indicate five words or expressions related to one of the social objects. Sample characteristics and structural analyses were carried out separately for the two data collection procedures. D ata indicated that internet-based research allows for higher sample diversity, but it is essential to guarantee the adoption of measures that can select only desired participants. Results alsopointed out the need to take into account the nature of the social object to be investigated through internet research on representations, seeking to avoid self-selection effects, which can bias results, as it seems to have happened with the football social object. 2011 artículo científico 1794-4724 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=79920065002 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=799 Avances en Psicología Latinoamericana application/pdf Universidad del Rosario Avances en Psicología Latinoamericana (Colombia) Num.1 Vol.29
