How to Improve Compliance in Experience Sampling Method (ESM) Data Collection _ Next-Gen Research Techniques

📢 How Can Researchers Improve Compliance in Experience Sampling Studies?
High-quality ESM research depends on participant engagement—so how do we keep compliance rates high without overwhelming them?

In this episode, we explore strategies to improve compliance in Experience Sampling Method (ESM) studies, ensuring reliable and high-quality data collection. We discuss the key factors influencing participant motivation, including intrinsic and extrinsic incentives, and how clear communication, well-designed prompts, and user-friendly tools can enhance engagement. We also cover ethical and effective incentive structures, ways to reduce participant burden, and the importance of flexibility in study design. Whether you're conducting research in psychology, health, or behavioral science, these insights will help you optimize your ESM approach for higher compliance and better data integrity.
