Communication is a dynamic process including multiple actors. Our theoretical reasoning and empirical research therefore always take the social context of media users into account. This is reflected in our theoretical work on the public sphere as a dynamic network,
the dynamics of digital media use in religious communities, or digital religions and spirituality.
To further advance research of digital media use, we have developed the method of data donation. This includes the Data Donation Module as a technical infrastructure as well as an interdisciplinary network of researchers that regularly exchange in the Data Donation Lab. This approach allows us to make use of the granular information of media use that is stored in digital traces.
Our empirical research projects typically include a longitudinal perspective in order to investigate temporal dynamics of social norms during the Covid-19 pandemic or the
social dynamics of health behavior among adolescents.
