Two Half-Truths Make a Whole? On Bias in Self-Reports and Tracking Data

The pervasive use of mobile information technologies brings new patterns of media usage, but also challenges to the measurement of media exposure. Researchers wishing to, for example, understand the nature of selective exposure on algorithmically driven platforms need to precisely attribute individuals’ exposure to specific content. Prior research has used tracking data to show that survey-based self-reports of media exposure are critically unreliable. So far, however, little effort has been invested into assessing the specific biases of tracking methods themselves. Using data from a multimethod study, we show that tracking data from mobile devices is linked to systematic distortions in sel…

In this paper, we present a formative experience in information literacy that can build on lasting from a reflexive, comparative approach skills; analytic and dialectic. On the theoretical side, we propose to reconcile the theories of human activity with simondiennes theories of technical culture. Trace analysis of learners permit to construct a summary ontology digital skills and shows the relevance of a semantic device training, which is part of the prospect of convergence between information cultures transliteracy kind.
