“…The technique needs to be adapted to allow a proper consideration of tasks distributed over time, between individuals and requiring distributed and joint decision-making. This is a vast domain; studies exploring those issues are now beginning using SEBE (Fauquet-Alekhine, 2014;Glăveanu & Lahlou, 2012;Gobbo, 2015;Rieken, 2013). Furthermore, the subcam is a great instrument to create training films, because it provides an excellent perspective on gestures; the trainees appreciate the possibility of getting a realistic view, and the trainers as well.…”

“…To say it otherwise, people appear experts in what they usually do, and can expand to an amazing level of detail and depth of insight in activities such as laying bricks, preparing food, etc. (see (Gobbo, 2015) for a lengthy interview where someone describes for literally hours how he buys shoes, or (Glăveanu & Lahlou, 2012) for how people paint Easter eggs). To some extent, the fact there is a film can compensate the limitations of language since what is talked about is obvious and visible on tape.…”

Subjective Evidence Based Ethnography (SEBE) is a method designed to access subjective experience. It uses First Person Perspective (FPP) digital recordings as a basis for analytic Replay Interviews (RIW) with the participants. This triggers their memory and enables a detailed step by step understanding of activity: goals, subgoals, determinants of actions, decision-making processes, etc. This paper describes the technique and two applications. First, the analysis of professional practices for know-how transferring purposes in industry is illustrated with the analysis of nuclear power-plant operators' gestures. This shows how SEBE enables modelling activity, describing good and bad practices, risky situations, and expert tacit knowledge. Second, the analysis of full days lived by Polish mothers taking care of their children is described, with a specific focus on how they manage their eating and drinking. This research has been done on a sub-sample of a large scale intervention designed to increase plain water drinking vs sweet beverages. It illustrates the interest of SEBE as an exploratory technique in complement to other more classic approaches such as questionnaires and behavioural diaries. It provides the detailed "how" of the effects that are measured at aggregate level by other techniques.Acknowledgments: This paper benefited from the smart and constructive comments of three anonymous reviewers.

“…These include the SubCam, a discreet head-mounted video camera that captures a social actor's visual field that has been used for first-person ethnographic analyses in occupational field studies as well as in experimental contexts (see Glăveanu & Lahlou, 2012;Lahlou, 2010Lahlou, , 2011. Other commercially available devices include lifelogging wearable technologies such as the BodyMedia FIT, designed to measure, among other things, sleep quality, galvanic skin response, and heart rate (for an overview of "quantified self" devices, see Lee, 2013).…”

“…In the field of ethnography, Glăveanu and Lahlou (2012) explored the use of a subjective camera (subcam) to obtain a first-person audio-visual recording of creative action. The collected video material was then used to assess the subjective experience of the participant through a confrontation interview using excerpts from the recording.…”

Research into group creativity with its dynamic, interpersonal, and multi-perspective character poses many challenges, among others, how to collect data and capture its shared nature. In this paper, we discuss the creative process of an ensemble in dance improvisation as an example of vivid and collaborative creative practice. To identify aspects of improvisational dance cognition, we designed and applied a videostimulated recall approach to capturing the multiple perspectives of the shared creative process. We tested the method during an improvisational session with dancers, showing how the recordings of dancers' thought narratives and internal states might be used for studying group creativity. Finally, we presented an audiovisual installation Between Minds and Bodies that aimed to recreate the dancers' experience and offered immersion into the creative process by accessing individual dancer's thought processes in the improvised performance while watching the dance improvisation.
