Media production behavior on smartphones : time, content, structure, and context
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- People are producing lots of media. Digital media technology makes it easy for users to produce all sorts of content conveniently, anytime and anywhere. Understanding media production behavior is more pertinent than ever as more people produce different media in ways not possible even ten years ago. Although production behavior is a critical concept of communication research that interests many media scholars, we surprisingly know little about its specifics—how much production behavior is there? And how should it be described? This study explored production on the quintessential digital media device, the smartphone. Four aspects of production behavior on smartphones were examined: (1) patterns of production behavior over time; (2) content characteristics of production behavior; (3) the structure of production behavior; and (4) the context of production behavior. Using a novel framework for measuring moment-by-moment changes in digital behavior, this study looked into production behavior in different time domains and employed computational methods to generate behavioral measures and media categories. This study employed an inductive research strategy to describe patterns of use that should be important across a range of theories about digital life. A wide array of statistical modeling and testing techniques were used to identify intra- and inter-individual patterns of media production behavior. The results of this study help theorizing about digital communication processes, about patterns and functions of digital media use, and about digital media interaction
