However, until recently, cognitive, emotional, and behavioral measurements of the workplace experience have been constrained by methodologies based on infrequent measurements or self-reports. The ongoing revolution in the development of sensor technologies is enabling new ways to measure human behavior\u0026nbsp;\u003Cem\u003Ein situ\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/em\u003Ewith precision. With a mixed-methods approach using sensors, along with EMA, computer logging, and repeated surveys, I will present a framework for measuring different attentional states.\u0026nbsp;I will present results showing how attention focus, stress and affect are impacted by digital media use, and how attention focus varies over the workday. This research shows that there are consequences of having access to so many digital information sources: they compete for people\u0026#39;s attention, leading to continual attention switching among different information streams and devices. I will discuss the value and challenges of using sensor measures\u0026nbsp;\u003Cem\u003Ein situ\u003C\/em\u003E\u0026nbsp;to study and design for digital media use.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESpeaker Bio:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.ics.uci.edu\/~gmark\/\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003EGloria Mark\u003C\/a\u003E\u0026nbsp;is a Professor in the Department of Informatics, University of California, Irvine. Her research focuses on studying how the use of digital technology impacts our lives in real-world contexts. She received her PhD in Psychology from Columbia University. Prior to UCI she worked at the German National Research Center for Information Technology (GMD, now Fraunhofer Institute), has been an ongoing visiting researcher at Microsoft Research since 2012, and has been a visiting researcher at IBM, National University of Singapore, and the MIT Media Lab.
