Sampling and bias
This survey is biased because of the sample we chose. We chose Year 9 students at All Saints College who have similar social economical backgrounds. We cannot make generalizations other than year 9 students from similar social economical backgrounds.
Result summary
As shown in the pie charts and frequency tables we can see that more boys like to talk to friends and do exercise as their way of supporting their mental health compared to girls, more girls like to get into nature and relax than boys. We can see that girls prefer to do more calming activities than boys and boys prefer to do more vigorous and sociable activities.
We can see that the non-binary results are very unfair because there were only 3 people who classified themselves as non-binary. If one person changed their favorite activity it would change the results by 25%
Summary results
It is shown in the frequency table above that talking to friends and doing exercise for mental health activities is the most popular and most done. It is also shown that doing meditation and going into nature is the least popular and least done.
