Media Consumption and Work Readiness Survey of 363 Hong Kong Tertiary Students, 2024

363 survey responses from tertiary students across six institutions in Hong Kong, collected between October and December 2024. The dataset, authored by Boris Lok-Fai Pun, examines associations between weekly hours spent on six media forms and three dimensions of work-readiness competencies.

Use Cases

• Investigate the relationship between entertainment-driven media consumption and career aspiration/planning competencies.
• Model the influence of different media types on reflection and learning skills among youth.
• Compare the developmental impact of feedback-rich media like newspapers versus unstructured online forums.

Strengths

• Survey data from 363 respondents provides a substantive sample size for analysis.
• Data collection occurred over a defined three-month period from October to December 2024.
• The study design compares six distinct media forms against three specific competency dimensions.

Limitations
