Wave 6: Summer 2013 Social Network Survey
Junior Transition Social Network Questionnaire
In this survey you will be asked questions about your personal contact network. We estimate that it will take around 30 minutes to complete this survey, though for some people it may take a bit longer.
This survey is very similar to surveys you have taken in the past, and its purpose is to obtain a description of how your social network has changed. This is important information that we will need to understand how social networks evolve during college.
All information that your provide to us through this survey is confidential. In all reports and presentations individuals will not be identifiable. Also, no one will see your answers except the researchers involved in the NetSense project.
