Big Mad Study

Methods

Research Methods

The study is assembled from three high-level modules that capture experience, context, and perception. Each one is measured through a blend of surveys, rapid check-ins, and interviews.

Experience Logs

Short-form entries submitted daily so we can see moment-to-moment shifts in the target population.

Context Mapping

Periodic check-ins with location, time, and social context data to ground the narrative.

Pre-registration

Not yet registered. The hypotheses, their nulls, and the known limitations are written down in public on our issue tracker, but that is our own word with our own timestamps. They will be filed with an independent registry before we collect any data, and this page will carry the DOI when they are.
