Description

Data collection was conducted through offline questionnaire surveys administered to high school students in Guangzhou. Using a stratified sampling approach, the study selected three classes from each grade level across four key high schools (two provincial-level and two municipal-level key schools). A total of 1,800 questionnaires were distributed between September 9 and October 25, 2023. After data cleaning, 1,546 valid responses were retained, resulting in a valid response rate of 85.89%. The survey instruments measured motivations for digital reading social behavior (MSBDR) and digital reading literacy (DRL) using Likert five-point scales, with items adapted from established questionnaires to fit the research context. The dataset titled “High School Students’ Digital Reading Social Behavior Motivation and Digital Reading Literacy in Guangzhou” is organized into two main components: the raw survey response dataset and the processed analytical dataset. A total of 1,546 valid student questionnaires were collected and compiled into a structured Excel file and Word file.
