Diary Studies
Research where participants keep a diary to record their thoughts, feelings, and actions related to a product over a period of time, followed by a debrief interview.
Implications
A research method where participants record their experiences, behaviors, and thoughts over a period of time, often used to gain insights into day-to-day activities, routines, and contexts that might not be captured through other research methods.
Example
Example: A UX researcher conducts a diary study to understand how users interact with a new mobile app over a week, collecting data on their experiences, challenges, and overall satisfaction.
Related Terms
