Only with more sophisticated and theoretically-sound measurement tools will we be able to produce the empirical evidence necessary for truly understanding the existence and possible nature of problematic engagements with various digital technologies.

Great presentation by Adrian Abendroth this morning at #Cyberspace Conference on 'Technology Use Addiction: Scales, Dimensions, Validity?'.

[SU_CTRG @SU_CTRG]

The study highlights shortcomings in existing scales and underscores the need to develop more sophisticated conceptions and empirical tools to understand possible problematic interactions with various digital technologies.

We were pleased to host the Method Workshop on Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses held by Dr. Douglas Parry @dougaparry | @StellenboschUni that took place at the Weizenbaum Institute. Thank you for the great insights, Dr. Parry.

Drs le Roux and Parry are visiting the Chairs of Business Informatics at @unipotsdam in Germany, presenting a number of methods workshops and research seminars for researchers in the area!

[Doug Parry @dougaparry]

Great first workshop @JWI_Berlin on meta-research. Will be giving a second workshop, building on @msalganik and @chris_bail's content at SICSS, on collecting digital trace data and quantitative text analysis on Monday also @JWI_Berlin.

Congratulations to our colleague @AlduCornelissen on successfully defending his PhD today @StellenboschUni Look forward to many future collaborations and interesting discussions #sharingiscaring

[aldurithm @AlduCornelissen]

On the day I successfully defend my PhD, these guys arrive at home all the way from the US. @hadleywickham @msalganik @yudapearl

[Doug Parry @dougaparry]

This is a very important paper. While self-reports do have their place (e.g., affective/motivational matters), when ostensibly claiming to measure behaviour, actually measuring behaviour is better than relying on memory/perception. #thenewfrontierinmediaeffectsresearch

Great video from @cgpgrey Thinking About Attention -- Walk with Me https://t.co/BNlTrUuz7t Attention is so important and the competition for our attention is something we need to be cognisant of.

[Doug Parry @dougaparry]

For anyone researching behaviour with media or media effects, the changing notion of 'use' and how it is measured is something we need to be closely aware of. See https://t.co/0SbBpe0ELY by @beata_j @superalex at @SocMediaConf for an interesting discussion.
