Резюме	The Mobile Experience Sampling Method (ESM) collects repeated, time-stamped self-reports from participants in their natural environment using a smartphone app. By signaling participants multiple times per day over days or weeks, researchers capture psychological states, behaviors, and contexts as they occur — eliminating retrospective bias and revealing within-person dynamics that single-session surveys cannot detect.	The diary method is a data-collection technique in which participants record their thoughts, behaviours, events, or experiences in their own words at regular or event-contingent intervals over a defined study period. By capturing data close in time to the event, diaries reduce retrospective recall bias and give researchers access to the texture of everyday life as it unfolds — something one-off surveys and retrospective interviews cannot provide.
