Note. Some phone specifications and sensors for studies using the same dataset or app (e.g., StudentLife) are assumed to be the same as those reported in the primary paper, when they are not explicitly reported in text. Application or Platform Name – PROSIT = Predicting Risk and Outcomes of Social Interactions. Sensor Data Features Extracted – GPS = Global Positioning System (GPS/WiFi includes GPS/phone location services, and/or WiFi receivers and/or cell towers); Accel = Accelerometer (includes phone core motion systems); BT = Bluetooth; Total = Total number of features explored in each study. *Social media use & network size. **Social networking via execution status of smartphone applications. ***App-based monitoring of phone activity including type of application, time spent using it, and time of night. Study authors created an index of whether phone was checked at night or not checked at night. NR = Not reported.
