Σύνοψη	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.	Sensor data collection uses physical or digital instruments to automatically capture quantitative measurements from the environment, human bodies, or machines over time. Common sensors measure temperature, motion, heart rate, location, light, sound, or chemical properties. Because the recording is automated and continuous, the method can produce high-frequency datasets with minimal researcher burden, making it central to IoT, environmental monitoring, wearable research, and behavioral studies.
