We hope that ChatDashboard enables many researchers to set up their own data collections for WhatsApp chat log data and to provide new insights in communication and interpersonal relationship research! #CSS #DataDonation #WhatsApp #socialpsychology

Julian Kohne @juliankohne.bsky.social · Jan 8

The DashboardTester script automates testing for researchers setting up their data donation pipelines, simulating users on ChatDashboard to ensure only anonymous, consensual data is donated. Check it here: t.ly/Z2gb_

Julian Kohne @juliankohne.bsky.social · Jan 8

The ChatDashboard Shiny app allows participants to securely upload, review, manually subset, and get feedback on their data. You can check the code here: t.ly/xtmoj or try it out: t.ly/TZyyu (name: ShowCaseUser ; pw: password)

The WhatsR package enables parsing, anonymizing, checking consent in, and subsetting donated WhatsApp chat logs. Researchers can extract & visualize a range of variables such as word count, emoji, links, or smileys. Check it out here: shorturl.at/bnxWZ
