Online Mobile Experience Sampling/Evidence
Method evidence record

Online Mobile Experience Sampling

Online Mobile Experience Sampling (Online ESM) is a data collection technique that uses internet-connected smartphones or tablets to prompt participants multiple times per day and record their thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and context in the moment they occur. By gathering data in real time across daily life rather than retrospectively in a lab, it dramatically reduces recall bias and captures the natural variation of psychological and behavioral states as they unfold.
