Thank you for visiting this website and showing an interest in this research study.

​

The research project focuses on YouTube and critical thinking. I want to listen to young people and hear their views about YouTube and YouTube influencers. What or who is a YouTuber and why and how do you watch YouTube videos? These are some of the questions I am trying to answer in this research and I think YOU can help. 

​

YouTube is currently one of the most popular platforms for young people in the UK and young people are often referred to as 'YouTube natives'. Research suggest that there has been a shift from watching traditional television to engaging with YouTube content and I want to understand how and why you are watching YouTube. 

​

This research is part of a PhD project carried out by me, Evelyn Keryova, based at the University of Sussex. The working title of this PhD project is 'Exploring Critical Thinking of Young People: The Case of YouTube'.
