學者討論現代社會時間的加速、標準化、壓縮等特質時，經常將傳播科技放在核心位置。然而，有關傳播科技與時間經驗的實證研究非常少，仍處於初探階段。探討人們實際如何感受時間加速，亦即日常生活中行動和經驗的速度與壓縮，常見的研究方法包括量化取向的時間運用調查，質性取向的民族誌觀察、日記、深度訪談等，本文除了檢討這些方法的優缺點，也提出一研究設計實例，並反思執行的細節及可能的分析方向。

There is a rich body of literature concerning the features of time in modern societies. Scholars often consider that the information and communication technologies (ICTs) play a crucial role in changing paces of life. However, few empirical studies have investigated daily experiences of time squeezing involving the ICTs. This paper reviews a range of research methods usually adopted to study time experiences, including time use survey, ethnographic observation, diaries, in-depth interviews. Proposing a research design as an explanatory example, the author then assesses it reflexively and suggests possible directions for future research.
