One of the best ways to gather data from people is by directly asking questions that we think will give us insight into what we want to know. This has traditionally been done in the form of surveys that ask people questions and then attempt to use statistical analysis to extract some sort of quantitative value from the responses; however, this method depends on expecting survey participants to be willing and able to respond truthfully. Recent research suggests that by using “simple dynamic, interactive questions” in a survey increases the fun for participants, lowers the difficulty of collecting data for researchers, and results in an overall increase in the quality of data collected.
The system consists of three distinct modules:
- A mobile application for the Android OS which is capable of collecting data regarding social interactions in real time, as well as presenting study subjects with questions dynamically based on social interaction triggers;
- A centralized data aggregation server implemented using the Ruby on Rails web framework and hosted in the cloud using Amazon Web Services;
- An analytic engine which is able to mine the social interaction and dynamic survey data.
