La deuxième saison du webinaire MIXTAPES organisée par l’équipe du LabCom MIXTAPES (CNRS/Deezer/EHESS/Univ. Paris Cité/Univ. Paris-1) débutera mercredi 17 décembre à 15h (CET), avec une présentation de Florian Keusch (Université de Mannheim) intitulée « Digital Behavioral Data and Self-Reports: Two Good Solo Artists in a Great Duet ».
Abstract
For decades, social scientists relied primarily on self-reported data collected through surveys and interviews. These remain essential for understanding attitudes, motivations, and social contexts. The rise of smartphones and online platforms, however, has made digital behavioral data a powerful complementary source, offering detailed traces of actual practices but also raising questions about data quality, selection mechanisms, and ethics. In this talk, I bring together results from several recent methodological projects showing how these two data sources function as “solo artists” with distinct strengths and limitations, and how they produce their best performance when combined. I discuss the methodological and practical challenges involved, especially concerning data access, linkage, and evaluating data quality using examples from various digital behaviors.
