Abstract

The social media scroll back method is a qualitative research method that works within interviews whereby a researcher and participant “scroll back” through the social media history of the participant. As outlined in this chapter, this method has a range of advantages and can add value to existing qualitative methods but also generates new challenges and ethical questions.
