Plural and Porous: Reconceptualizing the Boundaries of Mobile Messaging Group Chats

Abstract In the nascent literature on mobile messaging groups—commonly referred to as “group chats”—there is a tendency to see them as clearly bounded units of interaction with highly-defined borders. While valuable at times, this approach does not fully reflect how group chat boundaries are experienced by the people who encounter them. Accordingly, this article aims to broaden the terms on which group chats are understood by reconceptualizing their boundaries. In doing so, it draws on interviews with 40 young adults about their friendship-based group chats and focuses, in particular, on the experiences of one participant, Matthew, who provided an especially rich account of his overlapping group chats. On the basis of this data, the article argues that the boundaries of group chats are often plural and porous, and that broader approaches to the study of group chats are needed to capture this complexity.

The Ethics of Gatekeeping: How Guarding Access Influences Digital Child and Youth Research

Digital child and youth research is often conducted in schools involving minors. Corresponding research designs raise two related sets of problems: Ethical issues with regard to working with vulnerable groups like children and adolescents and access to these groups. The latter pertains to the concept of gatekeeping which is an ethical issue in and of itself if certain groups or areas of research are systematically excluded from empirical research and, consequently, from the resulting benefits. Thus, our study examines how perceived ethical challenges influence gatekeepers’ decisions to grant or deny access to investigate a potentially problematic topic: pupils’ group communication. We addressed this research question empirically via semi-structured in-depth interviews with eight educational gatekeepers in Germany inquiring their attitudes on research in schools in general and on the specific topic of pupils’ group communication via instant messaging as an exemplar of digital child and youth research. Approaching the question from two perspectives (procedural ethics and ethics in practice), we identified hierarchical power structures within multiple levels of gatekeeping and revealed rationales to deny access based on ethical considerations with regard to the given scenario of pupils’ group communication.

Die Mobile Experience Sampling Methode (MESM) in der Kinder- und Jugendmedienforschung

Für die Erforschung von Verhaltensweisen, die in Verbindung mit dem Smartphone stehen, eignet sich insbesondere die Mobile Experience Sampling Methode (MESM). Sie wurde mit dem Ziel entwickelt, menschliches Verhalten unmittelbar und direkt in der natürlichen Umgebung der Befragten zu erheben. Damit hat sie besonders für den Einsatz in der Kinder- und Jugendmedienforschung Potenzial: Heranwachsende sind in Deutschland beinahe flächendeckend mit Smartphones ausgestattet und tragen sie fast immer bei sich. Die Methode ermöglicht durch wiederholte Messungen nicht nur die Erfassung situativer Effekte in der Mediennutzung, sondern auch die Analyse intraindividueller Unterschiede. Gerade in Bezug auf Minderjährige als besonders vulnerable Gruppe sind bei solchen stark in die Privatsphäre eingreifenden Forschungsdesigns unbedingt forschungsethische Aspekte zu berücksichtigen. Unser Beitrag befasst sich daher mit dem Mehrwert der MESM hinsichtlich ihres Einsatzes in der Kinder- und Jugendmedienforschung und beleuchtet die spezifischen Herausforderungen, die sich aus dieser Zielgruppe ergeben. Diesen Themen widmen wir uns sowohl auf einer projektübergreifenden Ebene als auch in Form eines Werkstattberichts, in dem wir konkrete Fallstricke aufgreifen, die uns in der Forschungspraxis begegnet sind.
