Abstract

Self-report methods such as experience sampling provide an important means of understanding individual behaviors. The arrival of wearable camera technologies opens up research opportunities to provoke and explore in-depth contextual self-reflection on individual behaviors. Studies with wearable cameras have the potential to extend or/and complement existing experience sampling methods and provide greater insight into human behavior. However, the use of wearable cameras raises distinctive ethical challenges. This paper outlines a number of ethical challenges occasioned by the use of wearable cameras in research, both tractable and intractable.
