We are running a social media and smartphone based experiment, SensingMe, which aims to gain insights into human wellbeing and behaviour. You need an Android phone to participate.

This is a two-part session.

The first part is a 15 minute information session, which will help you decide whether you would like to join the experiment. The researchers will give a short presentation about the project and you will have the opportunity to ask questions. There is no payment for attending the information session. You do not need to sign up following the information session if you do not want to.

The second optional part is a 30 minute registration session, where you will have the opportunity to join the study. We will first ask you to complete a registration survey, which will include questions about your health, life satisfaction and personality. We will then ask you to install the SensingMe app on your Android phone.You will receive a £10 Amazon voucher for completing the registration procedure.

Monthly participation then consists of running the SensingMe app on your Android phone, responding to short daily surveys about how happy you feel, and sharing some of the data you have generated on two social media platforms, where you can pick from Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

For each month that you decide to take part in the study, you will be emailed a £10 Amazon voucher. This monthly compensation is in addition to the compensation for the registration session. We will also give you access to a dashboard where you can see the data you have generated.

To be eligible to participate:

Your smartphone must be an Android phone running Android 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10.
You need to bring your phone to the registration session.
You need to have held an account on two of the social media platforms Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, for at least six months prior to joining the experiment.
You must also be a student from the University of Warwick.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions before the session.
