The workshop was designed for those interested in understanding everyday experiences and behaviours. In just two hours, we covered the fundamentals of diary studies and when to use them, how to design an effective diary study, including practical tips, and how to analyse and interpret diary study data using mixed effects regressions. Participants left with a solid understanding of diary studies and practical skills for conducting their own research.
