معرفی
Miriam (Mimi) Brinberg is an Assistant Professor at The Ohio State University, focusing on interpersonal interactions in both face-to-face and digital contexts. Her research emphasizes understanding conversational dynamics, relational processes, and methodological innovations for studying human behavior. She applies techniques like intensive longitudinal data, ecological momentary assessments, and unobtrusive digital monitoring (e.g., screen capture analysis) to reveal how interaction patterns shape individual and relational outcomes.
Brinberg’s work intersects with fields such as communication studies, psychology, and digital media. She co-founded the LHAMA initiative to disseminate longitudinal methods for analyzing interpersonal interactions. Key areas of exploration include screen use behaviors (e.g., 'screenertia'), digital dating abuse perceptions, and the impact of educational media on parent-child communication.
Her recent publications (2021–2025) highlight methodological advancements (e.g., state space grids, sequence analysis) and applied topics like emotional well-being apps, relational turbulence in marriages, and campaign-induced communication. She advocates for rigorous, ecologically valid approaches to studying daily interactions, often leveraging smartphone data and screenome frameworks.
Brinberg’s research bridges theoretical and applied domains, aiming to decode the 'black box' of everyday conversations and their societal implications. She collaborates on projects like the Human Screenome Project to analyze digital life experiences and their impacts on human behavior.
