RIVERS Damian Professor

研究内容

私は、応用言語学、社会心理学、教育学、メディア・コミュニケーション研究、人間―テクノロジー相互作用の知見を基盤として、デジタル化・テクノロジー化が進む環境の中で、人の行動、学習、意思決定、アイデンティティがどのように形成され、評価され、変化していくのかを研究しています。特に、教育環境やデジタルプラットフォーム、テクノロジーなどのシステムが、人の行動の可能性や制約をどのように構造化するのか、また、その中で人々が情報を解釈し、行動を調整し、自らの行動や他者の行動に意味や価値を与える過程に注目しています。研究方法としては、定量的モデリングやデータ分析と、質的・解釈的・談話分析的アプローチを組み合わせ、人間の行動とそれを取り巻く社会的・技術的システムとの関係を多角的に明らかにすることを目指しています。
