DESCRIPTION:Join us for a ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ School of Information Studies (SIS) Semina
 r Series talk on benefits of using experience sampling methodology in soun
 dscape research with speaker Dr. Jochen Steffens.\n\nABSTRACT\n\nSince its
  development in the late 1970s\, experience sampling methodology (ESM) has
  gained huge popularity in many areas of psychological research\, especial
 ly due to the widespread distribution of cell phones. ESM refers to a meth
 od of data collection in which people make momentary judgments while natur
 ally acting within their everyday environment. Already psychologists as Br
 unswik (1949) addressed the importance of understanding the complex interr
 elation between human behavior and situational variables in everyday life.
 \n\nIn this seminar\, a theoretical background of the ESM as well as appro
 aches for its practical implementation will be provided. Furthermore\, an 
 own study will be presented where the relationship between momentary and r
 etrospective soundscape judgments was investigated. In the course of this 
 study\, the influence of mood\, attention\, activity\, and personality tra
 its on the perception of soundscapes was also studied. The data analysis l
 ed to a structural equation model which illustrates and quantifies the com
 plex interplay of the variables collected in the study. The results of thi
 s case study demonstrate that the ESM provides a strong methodological fra
 mework to study environmental and psychological factors and their temporal
  fluctuations at play in soundscape judgments.\n\nBIO\n\nJochen Steffens j
 oined the School of Information Studies in January 2014 as a postdoctoral 
 researcher at the Multimodal Interaction Laboratory (MIL)\, working on heu
 ristics governing global soundscape evaluations with Prof Catherine Guasta
 vino. His research investigates the effect of crucial moments in temporal 
 experiences on overall retrospective evaluations in the context of soundsc
 ape perception. Dr Steffens received a Diploma in Audio and Video Engineer
 ing from the University of Applied Sciences and the Robert Schumann School
  of Music and Media in Düsseldorf\, Germany (2007). He completed his PhD d
 egree in engineering from the Technische Universität Berlin in 2013. His r
 esearch interests are on psychoacoustics\, soundscapes\, and the process o
 f sound evaluation with its influencing cognitive factors.\n\nThis talk is
  free and open to all. Please arrive early to secure a seat.\n
