This year, I am living in a simulation - literally. 🌀
@mscharkow.bsky.social, and I are currently conducting a #simulation study on how users interact with algorithms in short-video environments such as #TikTok. I’ve had two incredible opportunities to share our progress so far.

What content do people watch when experiencing stressors? We matched data donations w/ content descriptions & linked them to diary surveys for an answer! Sadly rejected at #ica25 but proud of this collab w/ @felix-dietrich.de, @aliciagilbert.bsky.social, @leonardreinecke.bsky.social 👉 doi.org/n2z2
