📣 Interviewees needed for a study on smart phone control! Take part in Joel's Master's thesis study examining data collection's role in our everyday smart phone relationships. No expertise required. Interested? Contact the researcher for more info! Feel free to share with others!
Take part in a study! I’m looking for adult participants for my Master’s thesis study that examines the role of data collection in people’s everyday relationships with their smart phones. During the study participants will get a chance to critically reflect on the role of smart phones in their everyday lives and to hopefully learn something new in the process. Taking part doesn’t require any expertise on the topic. Both English and Finnish speakers are welcome to take part! Taking part in the study consists of two 30-60 min interviews and a period of self-documentation during which participants are instructed to do 3 tasks in total, that take about 30-45 min each. The timing and practicalities of each task are agreed upon in the first interview. The tasks and responses will be sent via email or in WhatsApp or Telegram. Self-documentation can be done using a smart phone, a computer, or voice recordings. The tasks include documenting your phone use, mapping and thinking about your digital footprint, and getting familiar with settings on your phone and in some applications. In the concluding interview, experiences of completing the study are discussed. Interviews will be held between May and August via Microsoft Teams. It is possible to partake with or without video. The interviews will be recorded, transcribed, and pseudonymized. Participants will not be identifiable from the final study.
