Behavioral assessment using smart devices affords novel methods, notably remote self-administration by the individuals themselves. However, this new approach requires navigating complex legal and technical terrain. Given the limited empirical data that currently exists, we provide and discuss anecdotes of the methodological, technical, legal, and cultural issues associated with an implementation in both U.S. and European settings of a mobile software application for regular psychological monitoring purposes. The tasks required participants to listen, watch, speak, and touch to interact with the smart device, thus assessing cognition, motor skill, and language. Four major findings merit mention: First, moving assessment out of the hands of a trained investigator necessitates excellent usability engineering, such that the tool is easily usable by the participant and the resulting data relevant to the investigator. Second, remote assessment requires that the data are transferred safely back to the investigator, and that risk of compromising participant confidentiality is minimized. Third, frequent data collection over long periods of time is associated with a possibility that participants may choose to withdraw consent for participation thus requiring data retraction. Fourth, data collection and analysis across international borders creates new challenges and new opportunities because of important cultural and language issues that may inform the underlying behavioral constructs of interest. In conclusion, the new technological frameworks provide unprecedented opportunities for remote self-administered behavioral assessments but will be most productive in multidisciplinary teams to ensure the highest level of user satisfaction and data quality, and to guarantee the highest level of data protection.

Show summary
Intersubjectivity is a term used to conceptualize the psychological relationship between people during conversation, e.g. for building a shared understanding. Ragnar Rommetveit, a Norwegian social psychologist, developed a conceptual framework for intersubjectivity, treating it as a social phenomenon and a dynamic process. One technique for increasing intersubjectivity according to Rommetveit is to issue 'anticipatory cues,' i.e. referring to common knowledge and indicating future situations where the knowledge will be relevant. This framework was adapted for online communication and applied to an analysis of the mod_perl module of the Apache Web server (an open source development project). Based on observations of 215 participants' contributions to the project's mailing list over a 6-month period, we explore how processes of intersubjectivity evolve across the developer network. We conclude with a discussion of how so-called proleptic instances in post-and-reply messages may be significant and trigger the co-construction of shared understanding.
