ILLUMINATE THE DARKNESS WITH YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA DATA

We are researching digital methods to better understand social media interaction
and its potential impact on mental health in order to help people. Support our
mission by donating your social media data anonymously. As a gesture of
appreciation for your efforts, we will grant you interesting insights into your
data.

OK


WHAT IS THIS ABOUT?

Social interaction plays a significant role in our mental health. The Multimodal
Behavior Processing Group at the University of Bielefeld is currently developing
digital measurement tools in order to better understand it. In this ongoing
study we are trying to answer a particular question: Can the social involvement
of people be measured by utilizing their social media data?

If you want to participate in this study, you can request your data from a
social media platform of your choice (Facebook and WhatsApp). You can then
anonymize this data on the website, upload it and donate it to our research
platform.
We recommend using a computer for participation.


WHY SHOULD I PARTICIPATE?


RECEIVE FEEDBACK

As a gesture of appreciation for your efforts, you will receive meaningful
insights and feedback to your online interaction behaviour and social
involvement. We will generate graphical representations of your sent and
received messages over the last months. This study is not intended to be a
clinical-psychological diagnosis.


STAY ANONYMOUS

When uploading your data, we will only process and analyze anonymized data
(message length, message timestamp and pseudonyms of the conversation
participants), not the message content (message text or the name of the
participants). We can therefore assure you that we have no access to your actual
messages.


SUPPORT RESEARCH

In this study, we are trying to measure the participants' social involvement
using their interaction data (exchange of messages via Whatsapp or Facebook).
The results of this study will contribute to the overall goal of better
understanding the effects of social interaction on mental health.


HOW DO I PARTICIPATE IN THE STUDY?

This study will be completely anonymous and online. To participate in this
study, we will ask you to donate your anonymized messages and complete several
questionnaires. After having downloaded the interaction data of a platform of
your choice, the study will only last for about 20 minutes.


CAN I DROP OUT DURING THE STUDY?

First things first: participation is entirely voluntary. At at time, you may
revoke your consent concerning your participation in the study, without giving
any reason and without any kind of negative consequences. Before uploading the
data to our research platform, you may revoke your consent concerning the
storage of your anonymized data, without giving any reason and without any kind
of negative consequences.


HOW DO I DONATE MY DATA?

Data request: You request your social media data from a platform of your choice
(currently supported: Facebook and WhatsApp) and download it to your device.



Anonymization: We will remove all content from your data and limit it to
metadata (e.g. length and timestamp of message). Your name, as well as the names
of other participants, will get replaced by random pseudonyms (eg. "James" →
"anonymous13"). You may examine the anonymization of your data before uploading
it to our servers.



Storage: Only anonymized and reduced data will be uploaded to one of our secure
servers.



The purpose of this website is to inform you about the background and process of
this online study. If any questions or concerns arise during the process, please
write to the principal investigator (Prof. Dr. Hanna Drimalla, AG Multimodal
Behavior Processing, Technische Fakultät, Universität Bielefeld,
