Self-monitoring

An activity of recording one’s own behaviors, thoughts, or feelings

Limited support for data exploration

  • Scattered data across multiple platforms (Li et al., 2011; Choe et al., 2014.)
  • Don’t know what to do with the data (Choe et al., 2014; Epstein et al., 2015;

Lazar et al., 2015.)

  • Difficult to translate questions into data attributes (Grammel et

al., 2010; Huang et al., 2015.)

  • Difficult to construct visualizations (Grammel et al., 2010; Huang et al., 2015.)

Study Session

Invited 11 self-trackers to the lab

  • Have been regularly tracking personal data for two months or longer
  • Have been using two or more of the following devices or apps: Fitbit, Aria, MS

Band, Moves, RunKeeper, RescueTime

  • Age range: 24–60 (mean = 35.8)

Study session (1.5–2 hours total)

  • Demographic / tracking experience survey
  • Tutorial and demonstration of the tool
  • Think-aloud session with observation
  • De-briefing interview

Levels of Reflection

R0—description R1—description with justification R2—exploring relationships R3—asking of fundamental questions R4—considering social and ethical issues

From a lower-level reflection to a higher-level reflection

“Band has 222 days of collected data and it's saying my average is 1,464, but Fitbit has 81 days and it's saying I have 5,764 as my average. So it leads me to wonder which one is more accurate?” [P7]

Data summary; Comparing multiple services; “R0” reflection Question; “R2” reflection

Insight gaining pattern #1

Visual data exploration Recall previous contexts that could explain the captured behavior

“R1” reflection

Revisiting with explanation, descriptive reflection

“I think that was soon after my surgery and that maybe would make sense cause I’d have to get up to take medicine and maybe being restless or something.” [P8]

External context

slide-39
SLIDE 39

Eun Kyoung Choe 39

Insight gaining pattern #2

Recall previous contexts that could explain the captured behavior Create an interesting question / hypothesis Visually explore the data to look for an answer

“R2” reflection

Questioning; exploring relationships

Temporal comparison

P1: (entering Sept 15, 2015 to compare his weight before and after this date) Researcher: Why Sept 15? P1: “That's kind of around the time I changed jobs. I was wondering if there was anything interesting there.”

External context; Comparison by time segmentation

Using External Context in Data Exploration

External Context: Uncaptured data provided by the presenter to understand and explain a phenomenon shown in the data Calendar events, location semantics, major life events, key dates, vacation, workout types, seasons, weather…

Value judgment: “Saturday is pretty bad” [in terms of step count] Making a resolution: “So I need to take action to probably monitor myself to ensure that I’m at least at 2,000 [steps] or more.” [P10]

“R3” reflection

alters or transforms the reflector’s original point of view

slide-43

Eun Kyoung Choe 43

Reflection on the levels of reflection

Many R0, R1, and R2 types of reflections due to Visualized Self’s data summary and temporal comparison pages Drawing higher-level reflections (i.e., R3) was less common R3 might be an important reflection type that can potentially lead to short-term, or even long-term behavior change Did not observe R4
