摘要
Recent advances in mobile sensing technology provide innovative methods for understanding how individuals think, feel, and behave in vivo. Despite the utility of these new methods, as of yet, researchers have not been able to see the environments people encounter in their daily lives. In this article, we introduce wearable cameras as a new tool for sampling from participants' everyday situations. Wearable cameras are small devices that capture pictures on a fixed interval (e.g., 30 s). This article discusses the benefits and disadvantages of incorporating wearable cameras into personality and social psychological research. Drawing on our experiences using wearable cameras in research, we provide insights into ethical and legal considerations when designing studies using these devices. Lastly, we report data on situation change and perceived obtrusiveness from, to our knowledge, the first wearable camera study in personality and social psychology.
