Title
Enwildering the lab: merging field evaluation with in-lab experience sampling
Abstract
While the Experience Sampling Method is considered the gold standard of in-situ measurement, researchers have highlighted its drawbacks, in disrupting participants' activities and providing limited insights to the remote researcher. We propose a mixed approach that combines field studies with systematic lab-based Experience Sampling in four steps: a) context exploration - identifying unexpected usage contexts through field studies that rely on passive life logging and ethnographic techniques, b) scenario synthesis - combining the insights into scenarios that will be tested in the lab, c) context reanimation - real life context is reanimated in a CAVE-like virtual environment b) systematic ESM probing - observer-triggered ESM is employed increase the researchers control over the moments of sampling.
