A Survey on BeReal among University Students: Focus on Learning Motivation and Privacy Consciousness

The purpose of this study was to determine university students' thoughts on the use of BeReal. After clarifying these ideas, we compared and examined the differences in learning motivation and privacy consciousness by use, non-use, and differences in thinking. The survey population consisted of 368 university students. The survey included “items on thoughts about using BeReal”, “Learning Motivation Scale”, and “Privacy Consciousness Scale”. The results of this study indicated that BeReal is becoming more common among university students, and that many of them are willing to contribute during class.Also, It revealed that university students who use BeReal tend to be less learning motivation than those who do not use BeReal. Furthermore, the group that posts BeReal during class tends to have lower awareness of and behavior to maintain their own privacy than the group that does not post BeReal during class.
