Σύνοψη	The telephone-assisted research diary combines the longitudinal depth of diary methods with structured telephone prompting. Participants are contacted by researchers at scheduled intervals — daily, weekly, or event-contingent — and guided to reflect on and record recent experiences, behaviours, or feelings. The telephone call functions as both a prompt to ensure timely entries and as a brief interview that deepens the diary record beyond what participants might write unsupported.	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.
