On this screen, you will see 4 different data visualizations published by the German press recently.
In some cases, you will be asked to choose one of the suggested choices that best matches the content shown in the graphs. In others, you can describe out loud your impressions about the data.
After each question, you will be asked how you made your decision.
The software will record the path taken by the mouse cursor.
The camera will record your reactions and the microphone will record your voice. Please, describe out loud what comes to your mind at the moment of the analysis.
OBJECTIVES
The aim of this project is to understand how participants behave and interpret data visualizations published in news.
Your data will be kept safely and anonymously.
You will be described only as ‘Participant X’ in the final results.
This experiment is part of the master’s programme in Media, Technology and Society of the Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences.
