Joseph Bayer studies how people use smartphones and social media in everyday life, including habits, connection and disconnection, and how technology use affects wellbeing and social relationships. His work combines behavioral tracking methods, such as GPS and app-use logs, with survey and modeling techniques to understand patterns of digital media use over time. This research is relevant to students interested in the psychology and behavioral science of technology use.
Publication output has grown over the last decade, rising from about 2 papers per year in 2017 to a sustained average of about 7 per year over the last five years, with some year-to-year variation.
