Respondents
The data for the study was collected through a survey on Google Forms
via various social media platforms like WhatsApp, Facebook and Linkedin.
385 was the required sample size considering a confidence level of 95%,
a 5% margin of error and the fact that 73.38% of the Indian population
are above the age of 14. From 1175 responses collected over a span of 13
days from 05-05-2020 to 17-05-2020 during the lockdown phase, only 1094
were taken into consideration after deletion of outliers and those
responses that did not provide the necessary consent (44). The large
sample size gives the hypothesis test a greater ability to detect small
effects, thus having a higher statistical power. The respondents came
from various walks of life.
