This repository contains the anonymized survey data for the paper "When Smart Devices Are Stupid: Negative Experiences Using Home Smart Devices," which will appear in Safethings 2019. The dataset only consists of responses from participants who have explicitly given us permission to release the data for future research.
In the survey, we explicitly asked participants whether we could release their responses for future research. We only considered consent to be given if participants manually clicked on "Yes" to the question. Any responses from participants who didn't click on "Yes" to the question are excluded from the released dataset.
73 out of 75 participants opted-in to the data release and the remaining 2 participants' responses are not included.
The valid_responses.csv file contains the data that we actually analyzed in the paper. There should be responses from 70 participants in total. The empty rows in the file are either ineffective responses (3 participants) or responses from participants who opted out of the data release (2 participants).
The first row consists of the questions we asked in the survey, and the rest are participants' responses.
The discarded_responses.csv file contains the data that we excluded from our analysis (3 participants). These responses are regarded as either incomplete or off-topic.
Similarly, the first row consists of the questions we asked in the survey, and the rest are participants' responses.
