Abstract
Seven Japanese college students kept communication logs of their use of video-equipped cellular telephones for a period of one month. Analysis of the content of these logs revealed an unexpected finding: The three women's total log entries were between three- to six-times longer than the most detailed log kept by one of the four male participants. While the men fulfilled the basic requirements of the research project, it was clear the women went well beyond these basics and that analyzing their log entries might inform our understanding of the use of a new communication technology, but may also shed light on how-in at least this one group-men and women engaged differently in qualitative data collection. This study examines the log entries and provides preliminary results of how the men and women involved in this project approached the task of logging their cellular telephone use.
