MA2806: Data Visualizations

Relationship between caffeine consumption and stress amongst university students

we conducted a survey of 76 university students, exploring the relationship between caffeine consumption and stress levels, as well as factors such as paid/unpaid work.
gender, ethnicity, taking a feminist approach to data collection and visualisation, we aimed to create inclusive and accessible visualisations that challenge traditional narratives around caffeine consumption and stress.
our data collection process was influenced by feminist principles, prioritising inclusivity and accessibility.

student's preferred caffeine source

each students preferred caffeine source is shown, but the visualization may not capture the full complexity of their choices. why someone may choose a hot drink over an energy drink can be influenced by various factors such as taste preferences, cultural influences, or even the social aspect of drinking hot beverages.

perceived stress levels, paid/unpaid work, and caffeine intake

a major fault in data visualization is reducing lived experiences into simplified metrics. click on each dot to see their circumstances and how data visualisation can never fully capture the complexities of lived experiences.

gender and caffeine consumption

data collection can lead to oversimplified representations of complex realities. each person's caffeine consumption is reduced to a number based on the ranges provided, and this demonstrates the importance of thoughtful data collection and the limitations of data visualisation in capturing the nuances of human experiences.
