Integrating Psychoinformatics with Ubiquitous Social Networking

This book deepens the understanding of people through smartphone data obtained via mobile sensing and applies psychological insights for social networking applications. The author first introduces TYDR, an application for researching smartphone data and user personality. A novel, structured privacy model for mobile sensing applications is developed and the obtained empirical results help researchers gauge what data they can expect users to share in daily-life studies. The new research findings, the concept of mobile sensing, and psychological insights about the formation and structure of real-life social networks are integrated into the field of social networking. Finally, for this novel integration, the author presents concepts, decentralized software architectures, and fully realized prototypes that recommend new contacts, media, and locations to individual users and groups of users.

Provides a psychoinformatical research framework for mobile sensing and user personality Includes an app, a privacy model, example studies, and empirical insights about study participants' willingness to share data Introduces decentralized social networking concepts and applications based on psychological research results
