A study of changes in attitudes resulting from the use social media: Focusing on sporting and dietary habits relation to age gender

This book is based on a bachelor's thesis entitled: 'An investigation into changes in attitudes towards one's own sporting and dietary habits through the use of social networks, with reference to age and gender.' The growing importance of the internet and the rapid development of the World Wide Web are leading to media influence on user behaviour online. This influence is particularly relevant on individual social media platforms. The World Wide Web, and therefore social media, are accessible to all internet users and can be accessed at any time and from any location. This omnipresence of the internet and social media exerts a certain influence on people, resulting in changes to their behaviour. Consequently, all internet users are affected by the impact of social networks. The book examines the areas of nutrition, sport and health, as these are the areas most affected by this influence.
