Diary Study

Diary Study is a research method in design where people record their own actions, thoughts, or feelings over time, often in their daily environments. In behavioral research, designers use diary studies to see how people interact with products or spaces in real life, capturing details that might be missed in a lab or one-time interview. A useful detail is that diary studies can include photos, voice notes, or short videos, not only written notes. This helps designers see real situations and understand the context behind choices or habits, making it easier to spot patterns and needs that shape better design solutions.
