after nearly three years... over two hundred cases... unknown dozens of meetings... more than a thousand videos... and one last short-notice late-night data entry triage session...
i have just submitted the final dataset for my parent-child relationship video coding project for analysis
i feel like i need to smash a gameshow buzzer or something
#'project' makes this sound like it was a class assignment or an arts and crafts activity#this thing was a BEAST of a research endeavor#basically we have hundreds of hours of video footage#of parents engaging in various lab tasks with their toddlers and having different kinds of interactions#and i had to sit down and watch them and rate/quantify various aspects of their relationship/interactions#so that we can use the data for our broader research aims#yesterday i drove nearly 800 miles and then stayed up til 1:30 AM fixing the dataset#the issues were partly someone else's fault and then tbh partly the RA in charge of data entry just not doing a great job#i am a shell of a human
