Sintesi	The online diary method is a longitudinal data collection technique in which participants record their thoughts, experiences, behaviors, or events in structured or semi-structured entries submitted via digital platforms — such as web forms, email, or dedicated apps — at regular or event-contingent intervals. It combines the ecological validity of traditional diary research with the logistical advantages of remote, automated data collection.	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.
