Data Bias on Social Media

A few days ago, I saw a foreigner ask about a schedule for Chinese middle school students on Hellotalk, which was from 7:00 am to 9:00 pm every weekday.

The interesting thing was the following comments.

Almost 80% of them confirmed it was real, and the rest complained about the uselessness of this kind of schedule.

I found it interesting because not all areas in China followed this schedule, such as Shanghai. But no one mentioned that even though there were many users from Shanghai on that platform.

And secondly, this system has many advantages. I'm not saying it's perfect. But for myself, I developed great personal abilities during that time, such as concentration, self-discipline, learning methods and a love of learning new things.

Thirdly, I didn't leave my opinion on the comment, because the questioner and the atmosphere made me feel that my opinion would be unwelcome, and the question wasn't important to me.

So if you only get information from the comments on that post, you'll have a typical data bias.

It's just a little observation and welcome to discuss.


几天前,我看到一个外国人在Hellotalk上问中国中学生的时间表,每个工作日从早上7点到晚上9点。

有趣的是下面的评论。

几乎80%的人确认这是真的,其余的人抱怨这种时间表毫无用处。

我发现这很有趣,因为并不是所有地区都遵循这个时间表,比如上海。但没有人提到这一点,尽管该平台上有很多来自上海的用户。

其次,这个系统有很多优点。我不是说它完美。但对我自己来说,在那段时间里,我培养了很多个人能力,比如专注力、自律、学习方法和对学习新东西的热爱。

第三,我没有在评论中留下我的观点。因为提问者和那里的氛围让我觉得我的观点会不受欢迎,这个问题对我来说也并不重要。

所以,如果你只从那篇文章的评论中获取信息,你就会有典型的数据偏差。

这只是一个小小的观察,欢迎大家讨论。

Data Bias on Social Media

A few days ago, I saw a foreigner ask about a schedule for Chinese middle school students on Hellotalk, which was from 7:00 am to 9:00 pm every weekday.

The interesting thing was the following comments.

Almosbout 80% of them confirmed it was real, andwhile the rest complained about thehow uselessness of this kind of this schedule is.

I haven't heard of the word uselessness before. Does this word really exist?

I found it interesting because not all areaschools in China followed this schedule, such as Shanghai.

It's their school schedule, isn't it?

But no one mentioned that even though there were many users from Shanghai on that platform.

And secondly, this system has many advantages.

I'm not saying it's perfect.

But for myself, I developed great personal abilities during that time, such as concentration, self-discipline, learning methods and a love ofor learning new things.

Thirdly, I didn't leave my opinion on the commenpost, because the questioner and the atmosphere made me feel that my opinion would be unwelcomed, and the question wasn't important to me.

So if you only get information from the comments on that post, you'll have a typical data bias.

Can you explain the data bias?

It's just a little observation and you're welcome to discuss.
