Digital experiences capture an increasingly large part of life, making them a preferred, if not required, method to describe and theorize about human behavior. media also shape behavior by enabling people switch between different content easily, create unique threads that pass quickly through numerous information categories. Current methods recording digital provide only partial reconstructions lives weave - often within seconds among multiple applications, locations, functions media. We...
Partisan segregation within the news audience buffers many Americans from countervailing political views, posing a risk to democracy. Empirical studies of online media ecosystem suggest that only small minority Americans, driven by mix demand and algorithms, are siloed according their ideology. However, such research omits comparatively larger television often ignores temporal dynamics underlying consumption. By analyzing billions browsing viewing events between 2016 2019, with novel...
Changes in information communication technology across the Asian region have altered our field substantively and methodologically. The rapid growth of digitized communications allows us to find new purchase examining questions fundamental understanding theories, norms, practices Asia. While methods such as text mining user analytics are increasingly popular among computational scholars, here, we focus on online experiments, an approach studying that has potential overcome many existing...
This study demonstrates how localization and homogenization can co-occur in different aspects of smartphone usage. Smartphones afford individualization media behavior: users begin, end, or switch between countless tasks anytime, but this is shaped by shared environments such that usage may be similar among those who share contain differences, localization, across regions. Yet for all users, screen interactions are bounded guided nearly identical interfaces, suggesting homogenized individuals...
The affordances of the smartphone are shifting individuals toward ever smaller and more fragmented units political experience. In this piece, we make use a novel approach to granular assessment exposure on smartphones, revealing an incredible level complexity in modern content diets, somewhat at odds with simplifying assumptions commonly made by communication research. Based five million screen-recording frames taken from 119 smartphones over two weeks, find clear challenges three common...
Contrary to popular concerns about the harmful effects of media use on mental health, research this relationship is ambiguous, stalling advances in theory, interventions, and policy. Scientific explorations between health have mostly found null or small associations, with results often blamed cross-sectional study designs imprecise measures health. This exploratory empirical demonstration aimed answer whether are associated experiences by (1) redirecting investments granular intensive...

Abstract This paper investigates the impact of communication in a public good game with central authority. The authority includes fixed cost that increases level monitoring which turn determines deterrence. is both exogenously and endogenously determined. Across three treatments subjects either have no opportunity to communicate, communicate only when imposed, or selected. Results suggest that, treatments, average earnings are significantly higher communicate. Most significantly, prior...
Cataloguing specific URLs, posts, and applications with digital traces is the new best practice for measuring media use content consumption. Despite apparent accuracy that comes greater granularity, however, may introduce additional ambiguity errors into measurement of use. In this note, we identify three challenges when using Digital Trace Data were recently uncovered a framework - Screenomics records at granularity individual screenshots obtained every few seconds as people interact mobile...
