NaviDay Study
In the study “How do people navigate their everyday lives?” (NaviDay), we investigate how people shape their everyday situations and how this relates to characteristics of their personality as well as features of the situations themselves. Participation takes place via smartphone and includes an initial questionnaire as well as brief daily surveys over a period of 14 days. In the first survey phase, households in Siegen were randomly selected and invited to participate via flyers. In the current second survey phase, the study is open to all other interested individuals fluent in German. Participation is possible via this link: https://www.formr-uni-siegen.de/navitag/.
What is the study about?
The aim of the study is to understand how and why people use different strategies to regulate situations. It will also examine whether a questionnaire developed for this purpose provides reliable and meaningful results for the general population. The scientific supervision is the responsibility of Dr. Alexandra Zapko-Willmes.
