Exploring the Fakes within Online Communication: A Grounded Theory Approach (Phase Two: Study Sample and Procedures)

Abstract

This study in its second phase aimed at the analysing the fake profiling phenomenon among students with different age categories in schools in Jordan. Theory building is conceptualizing; and to begin with, demographical data are divided into actions, events, incidents and ideas by means of asking straightforward questions such as what, where, when and how much. Data are then given a representative name, and this procedure entails word-by-word, line-by-line and phrase-by-phrase analysis.

Keywords: fake profiling, social networks, Methods and Procedures.
