报告摘要：

Big data presents unprecedented opportunities to understand human behaviour on a large scale. However, there are a few theoretical and methodological challenges that require attention. In this talk, I will highlight four issues, namely data-driven versus theory-driven approaches, measurement validity, multi-level longitudinal analysis, and data integration. They represent common problems that social scientists often face in using big data. I will present examples of these problems and propose possible solutions.
