Abstract

Learning by reflection is one of the core processes for improving work performance. We provide a novel approach for reflective learning support by transferring and adapting practices from the Quantified Self to workplace settings. This book contributes with an integrated model for technical support of reflective learning, mobile and web-based applications designed for quantifying and gathering data in the workplace, and empirical insights from thirteen studies in three different use cases.

Abstract

With the emergence of new technologies in our society, many fields have been impacted, such as healthcare. Preventive health technologies have had an impact on the way users of these new devices look after their health. It is therefore important to take a closer look at the potential negative effects of these new technologies, and in particular the effects of fitness trackers on physical activity. To achieve this, 18 in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted among participants aged between 20 and 40 years, in order to explore insights from Fitness Trackers users and the impact this use has on their physical activity. &#13;Although the use of fitness trackers brings many benefits to the user, there are also many unwanted negative aspects. First of all, tracking can lead to a number of negative emotions during physical activity. Many users have mentioned feelings of frustration, anger and disappointment when observing negative data. Secondly, tracking activity has changed the way users think about their activity, and the motivation associated with it. The data and the objectives set with it took on an increasingly important role in users' minds. Some users also mentioned that they trusted the data more than their bodies, even going so far as to pursue an activity that was detrimental to their health in order to meet the desired data and objectives. Finally, a certain dependence can be created on the data, rendering the user incapable of continuing his activity without it. All these negative aspects experienced by users are obviously impacted by variables such as personality, context and motivation. Finally, managerial and theoretical implications have been proposed, as well as limitations and suggestions for future research.

Abstract

Wer bin ich - und wie kann oder sollte ich mich verändern? »Unser Schreibzeug arbeitet mit an unseren Gedanken.« Vor dem Hintergrund dieses Nietzsche-Zitats zeigt Gerrit Fröhlich: Selbstführung ist eng gebunden an die Möglichkeiten, sich medial darzustellen. Wer an sich arbeiten will, greift häufig auf Medien zurück - auf Tagebücher, Listen und Vorher-Nachher-Bilder, immer häufiger aber auch auf Schrittzähler oder Diät-Apps. Die Studie analysiert die Rolle der Medien bei der Selbstführung, gibt einen Überblick über die Formen dieser medienbasierten Selbsttechnologien und beschreibt die wichtigen technischen Zäsuren der letzten zwei Jahrhunderte.

Abstract

Was ändert sich, wenn Selbsterkenntnis zum digitalen Produkt wird? Ob Kalorien, Schritte, Blut- oder Stimmungswerte: Am Körper getragene mobile Geräte messen, überwachen und coachen alltägliches Verhalten und körperliche Leistungen. Die technisch vermittelte Erforschung, Steuerung und Optimierung des Selbst - das sogenannte »Self-Tracking« - etabliert nicht nur neue Verhältnisse von Körper, Technik und Wissen, sondern verwischt gleichermaßen die Grenze zwischen Selbst- und Fremdführung. Die Beiträge des Bandes fragen nach den gesellschaftlichen Bedingungen und den Auswirkungen dieser Transformationen und den damit einhergehenden Veränderungen zeitgenössischer Selbst- und Körperverhältnisse. »Das Buch [sei] allen am Thema interessierten empfohlen.« David Hill, Philosophisches Jahrbuch, 125/1 (2018) »Die Beiträge [bieten] einen guten Einblick in den derzeitigen Forschungsstand zum Thema Self-Tracking.« Lisa Schwaiger, Sociologica Internationalis, 1-2 (2018) »Wie gestaltet sich die ›methodische Lebensführung‹ also heute? Der Band liefert dazu interessante und hilfreiche Hinweise.« Wolfgang Hippe, Kulturpolitische Mitteilungen, 158/3 (2017) »Mit angenehm wenig Hysterie [...] findet der Versuch statt, sich dem Thema aus den unterschiedlichen Forschungsbereichen, wie zum Beispiel Medizin, Fitness, Gamification, Marketing u.v.m. anzunähern. Die einzelnen Artikel bieten interessante Blickwinkel und zeigen spannende Forschungsfelder rund um das Thema ›Self-Tracking‹ auf.« Julia Bast/Aline Braun, http://www.surveillance-studies.org, 20.06.2017 Besprochen in: http://bundeswirtschaftsportal.de, 26.09.2016 http://www.frauenberatenfrauen.at, Bettina Zehetner UniReport, 6 (2016) Gen-ethischer Informationsdienst, 2 (2017), Isabelle Bartram SPOLIT, 11 (2017)

Abstract

The successes and failures of an industry that claims to protect and promote our online identitiesWhat does privacy mean in the digital era? As technology increasingly blurs the boundary between public and private, questions about who controls our data become harder and harder to answer. Our every web view, click, and online purchase can be sold to anyone to store and use as they wish. At the same time, our online reputation has become an important part of our identity—a form of cultural currency.The Identity Trade examines the relationship between online visibility and privacy, and the politics of identity and self-presentation in the digital age. In doing so, Nora Draper looks at the revealing two-decade history of efforts by the consumer privacy industry to give individuals control over their digital image through the sale of privacy protection and reputation management as a service.Through in-depth interviews with industry experts, as well as analysis of media coverage, promotional materials, and government policies, Draper examines how companies have turned the protection and promotion of digital information into a business. Along the way, she also provides insight into how these companies have responded to and shaped the ways we think about image and reputation in the digital age.Tracking the successes and failures of companies claiming to control our digital ephemera, Draper takes us inside an industry that has commodified strategies of information control. This book is a discerning overview of the debate around who controls our data, who buys and sells it, and the consequences of treating privacy as a consumer good.

Abstract

With the advent of digital devices and software, self-tracking practices have gained new adherents and have spread into a wide array of social domains. The Quantified Self movement has emerged to promote ‘self knowledge through numbers’. In this ground-breaking book, Deborah Lupton critically analyses the social, cultural and political dimensions of contemporary self-tracking and identifies the concepts of selfhood, human embodiment and the value of data that underpin them. The book incorporates discussion of the consolations and frustrations of self-tracking as well as the proliferating ways in which people’s personal data are now used beyond their private rationales. Lupton outlines the ways in which the information that is generated by self-tracking now taken up and repurposed for commercial, governmental, managerial and research purposes. Self-tracking has broader implications, therefore, for the ways in which personal data practices are intertwined with big data politics
