Abstract
Parents' use of video to record their children's lives can be used to capture important moments in their children's lives and be used for sharing, documentation, and future reflection. However, due to the variety and large amount of video collections of children's life material, it is impossible to quickly and accurately respond to the motivation behind the material, predict subsequent behaviors, and assess the importance of the material. Therefore, this study employs the affinity diagram method to effectively analyze and process relevant data, identify user behavioral and psychological patterns, and thus build a user model. In this study, 17 interviewees from Australia were recruited and selected. Interview questions from 17 participants were recorded in audio format as raw research materials, and the interview data were organized using the affinity diagram technique. Through the analysis, it is found that the participants' behavioral trends can be classified into six different theme groups, and six typical findings are presented, mainly including Technology, Content of videos, Storage, Sharing, Memory of video, and Emotional value of videos and so on. After the analysis, it is it was learned that the emotional value of videos had the greatest impact, which can provide a reference for other researchers' subsequent studies.
