Abstract

Passive data from a tracking application (or “meter”) installed on participants’ devices to register the URLs visited have great potential for studying people’s online activities. However, given privacy concerns, obtaining cooperation installing a meter can be difficult and lead to selection bias. Therefore, in this article, we address three research questions: (1) To what extent are panelists willing to install a meter? (2) On which devices do they install the meter? (3) How do panelists who installed the meter differ from those who were invited but did not install it? Using data from online non-probability opt-in panels in nine countries, we found that the proportions of panelists installing the meter usually vary from 20% to 42%. Moreover, 20–25% of participants installed the meter on three or more devices. Finally, those who were invited but did not install the meter differ from those who did.

愿意参加计量在线小组讨论

来自安装在参与者设备上的跟踪应用程序（或“仪表”）的被动数据用于注册访问的URL，在研究人们的在线活动方面具有巨大潜力。然而，考虑到隐私问题，安装电表可能很难获得合作，并导致选择偏差。因此，在本文中，我们解决了三个研究问题：（1）小组成员愿意在多大程度上安装电表？（2）他们在哪些设备上安装电表？（3）安装仪表的小组成员与受邀但未安装仪表的成员有何不同？使用来自九个国家的在线非概率选择小组的数据，我们发现小组成员安装电表的比例通常在20%到42%之间。此外，20-25%的参与者将电表安装在三台或三台以上的设备上。最后，那些被邀请但没有安装电表的人与安装电表的不同。

期刊介绍： Field Methods (formerly Cultural Anthropology Methods) is devoted to articles about the methods used by field wzorkers in the social and behavioral sciences and humanities for the collection, management, and analysis data about human thought and/or human behavior in the natural world. Articles should focus on innovations and issues in the methods used, rather than on the reporting of research or theoretical/epistemological questions about research. High-quality articles using qualitative and quantitative methods-- from scientific or interpretative traditions-- dealing with data collection and analysis in applied and scholarly research from writers in the social sciences, humanities, and related professions are all welcome in the pages of the journal.
