This project explores Generation Z's news sharing, their digital representations of self, and how user research might take on a more user-centered perspective. The first phase of research included a survey of validated personality measures (n= 93), a two-week diary study (n=14), and a cross-generational survey (n= 1,188). Participants in the second phase of research (n=13) were presented with findings from the first phase of research, reflected on them in relation to their own news experiences through a one-week diary study, and then collaborated with the researcher on potential solutions to address current key issues: context collapse, echo chambers, and information validity.
Any research projects that don't have a permanent lab affiliation with GVU and are participating in the GVU Center Research Showcase will display their projects here. These projects are by researchers who are partnering with GVU to showcase their work in people-centered computing or using computing technology to solve scientific, social and technical challenges.
Faculty can request at any time to have their lab listed on the GVU website by emailing gvu@cc.gatech.edu.
