“We haven’t met yet. Do you trust me?”

This is the dilemma that any researcher faces at the outset of their recruiting process — to find people who are willing to share their stories, experiences, frustrations, and victories with a total stranger. The secret to building trust often comes down to explaining in person while performing the interview — creating a rapport with the research participant and listening deeply and critically to their stories.

This interview was a show-and-tell about analyzing online talk.

As technology becomes more integral to everything we do, the time we spend in front of screens such as smartphones and computers continues to increase. The pervasiveness of screen time has raised concerns among researchers, policymakers, educators, and health care professionals about the effects of digital technology on well-being. Despite growing concerns about digital well-being, it has been a challenge for scientists to measure how we actually navigate the digital landscape through our screens. For example, it is well documented that self-reports of one’s media use are often inaccurate despite survey respondents’ best efforts. Just knowing screen time spent on individual applications does not fully capture a person’s usage of the digital device either. Some could spend an hour on YouTube watching people play video games whereas others might spend the same amount of time watching late night television talk shows to keep up to date with the news. Even though the screen time is the same for the same application, the intentions and values of consumption of certain types of content can be vastly different among users.
