A qualitative focus group approach was selected to capture a
range of ideas about Snapchat's perceived influence on young adult
interpersonal relationships (Krueger & Casey, 2000). Focus group
methodology has been shown to be an effective method for understanding
young adults' lived experiences with technology
(Melander, 2010). Individual in-depth semi-structured interviews
were also included to increase the trustworthiness of the results
(e.g., multiple methods; Vaterlaus & Higginbotham, 2011).
