About this event

The Mood Music study has been collecting data from over 200 participants about how they use the music streaming service Spotify, and whether their music use is related to changes in their well-being day-by-day. In this talk Nina will introduce the study, the use of ecological momentary assessment to collect high resolution data from participants, and talk about how music listening contributes to our understanding of 'digital footprints' for well-being.

Please look at our Code of Conduct which we follow at all virtual and in-person events.

Audience Level:

Beginner/intermediate

Learning Outcomes:

• How researchers are using digital footprints
• What participant involvement can look like in data science research

Speaker

Dr Nina Di Cara, Senior Research Associate in Mental Health Data Science, School of Psychological Science

Dr Nina Di Cara (she/her)

Nina is a multidisciplinary researcher, working at the intersections of digital footprints, mental health, and data ethics research. Her work considers how we can use traces of our digital lives to better understand our mental health and well-being, and importantly, how we can do this in a way that is ethical and privileges the voices and views of the users of new technologies. Nina also co-leads the Data Ethics Club and Data Hazards initiatives which aim to build ethical awareness skills in data science.
