Online Social Networking Habits & Wellbeing Survey
Explores how people actually use social networking platforms — which ones, how much, why, and how it affects their day-to-day wellbeing. Includes a best-worst trade-off on core motivations and a feature-priority ranking, plus an AI follow-up that reconstructs a specific recent moment the respondent almost quit or actually quit a platform, and what changed their mind.

AI Interview
Reconstruct a specific, recent moment when the respondent seriously considered quitting, muting, or taking a break from a platform they use — what triggered it, what they actually did, and what pulled them back if they returned. Anchor on their wellbeing rating: if it was low, dig into the concrete incident behind that; if it was high, probe what specifically makes the experience feel positive rather than just 'it's fine.'
Q09

- Stronger privacy and data controls
- Better content and algorithm relevance
- Fewer ads

Attention checks
Built-in safeguards against rushed answers and low-quality respondents.
AI-drafted copy
Wording, ordering, and branching written by the AI — tuned to your research goal.
Auto report
Themes, quotes, and a plain-English summary write themselves once responses come in.
How it compares
We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.
Why this template
- Includes a best-worst (max-diff) trade-off on core motivations, which forces respondents to prioritize rather than rate everything highly
- Pairs a feature-priority ranking with an AI follow-up interview that reconstructs a specific recent moment the respondent almost quit or actually quit a platform, surfacing concrete stories static scales miss
- Covers usage breadth, most-used platform, daily minutes, and a wellbeing-impact matrix and opinion scale in one flow, so behavior and emotional impact are captured together
- Ends with a 'digital detox' behavior question and demographics, giving a rounded picture for a report on platform use and wellbeing without needing a separate qualitative study
SurveyMonkey
Social Media Survey TemplateA ready-to-field static template covering general social media usage habits, similar in topic scope to ours. It's backed by a large, established survey platform with broad distribution and analysis tools, but the questions are fixed-format with no adaptive follow-up.
What it does well
- Established, well-known survey platform with broad market presence
- Ready-to-use template that can be fielded quickly
- Likely benefits from built-in analytics and reporting tools
Where it falls short
- Static question set with no adaptive AI follow-up to probe individual answers
- No mechanism to reconstruct a specific behavioral moment (e.g., almost quitting a platform) beyond scaled or multiple-choice answers
- No published methodology or transparent prompt logic since it isn't AI-driven
QuestionPro
Social Networking Survey Questions + Sample Questionnaire TemplateThis is more of a question-bank/guide page with sample questions and a sample questionnaire rather than a single polished, fielding-ready template. It offers useful question ideas on social networking habits but leaves survey construction largely to the user.
What it does well
- Offers a broad sample question bank covering social networking topics
- Useful as a reference/guide for building a custom questionnaire
- Backed by an established survey research platform
Where it falls short
- Presented as a guide/sample list rather than a single ready-to-deploy adaptive survey
- No adaptive AI interviewing or voice AI follow-up to dig into individual responses
- No automated per-response quality scoring or transparent prompt documentation
