U.S. High School Student Technology Use and GPA Survey Data

Survey data from the Monitoring the Future project at the University of Michigan focuses on technology use among U.S. high school students. The dataset includes variables for technology use, such as PC and video game usage, and academic performance measured by GPA. Its primary inspiration is to investigate the potential effect of technology use on student grades.

Use Cases

• Correlational analysis between video game use frequency and GPA based on survey responses.
• Investigating the relationship between personal computer use and academic performance.
• Modeling the potential impact of general technology use on student grades.

Strengths

• Data originates from the established Monitoring the Future survey conducted by the University of Michigan.
• Explicitly includes key variables for analysis: technology use metrics and GPA.

Limitations

• Row count and dataset scale are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
