Abstract

In psychological research, it is difficult to acquire unintrusive, real-time and objective data under real-life non-experimental scenario. This article proposes a system (MobileSens) for automatically recording user behavior on Android mobile device (e.g., turning on device, sending messages, and web surfing), and uploading data to web server through General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) for subsequent analysis. During testing, MobileSens runs smoothly and efficiently on both the smartphone and tablet computer. It indicates that, in the future, this method of data acquisition can improve the performance of conducting psychological research.
