📊 How Can We Capture Human Experience in Real Time?
Traditional surveys rely on memory, but what if we could collect thoughts, emotions, and behaviors as they happen? That’s the power of the Experience Sampling Method (ESM).
In this episode, we dive into the Experience Sampling Method (ESM)—a research technique that captures momentary experiences, offering deeper insights into human behavior. Unlike retrospective surveys prone to memory bias, ESM gathers real-time data through smartphones, apps, and other digital tools. This method helps researchers understand daily life with unmatched accuracy, making it invaluable for psychology, healthcare, and behavioral science. We also explore different ESM approaches, from event-contingent to signal-contingent sampling, and discuss how technology is transforming its applications.
