Experiment #1 - Active time

This experiment investigates the daily active hours of 16-, 17-, and 18-year-olds.

How many people do we need?

This test is aimed at a small group. 20 people are needed to achieve successful results.

How will we finish the experiment? What will be your role?

Complete the test independently; the task is as follows: On Friday and Saturday, you must measure your active time. What does this exactly mean? Everyone should have an accessible timer on their phone. You can choose between two sessions.

Session one:

Friday (26/01/2024) 00:00 to Friday (26/01/2024) 23:59 and Saturday (27/01/2024) 00:00 to Saturday (27/01/2024) 23:59.

Session two:

Saturday (27/01/2024) 00:00 to Saturday (27/01/2024) 23:59 and Sunday (28/01/2024) 00:00 to Sunday (28/01/2024) 23:59

Your task is to start a timer at 0:00 to 23:59 . You need to pause the timer whenever you are: resting or sleeping, playing on the computer, or engaging in physical activities. In no other cases are you allowed to stop the timer. At the end of the two days, preferably in seconds but also in the exact minute value, send this number back separately in an email to [e-mail].
