Multi-source Mobile Experience Sampling — Multi-informant Ecological Momentary Assessment

Multi-source Mobile Experience Sampling extends the standard ESM design by simultaneously collecting repeated momentary self-reports from two or more linked informant types — such as patient and caregiver, employee and supervisor, or partners in a dyad — via their smartphones. Signals are delivered concurrently across sources, enabling researchers to examine convergences and discrepancies between informants' real-time experiences and to model interpersonal dynamics at the moment they unfold in daily life.
