Muhtasari	The Mobile Diary Method is a longitudinal self-report technique in which participants record their thoughts, feelings, behaviors, or events using a smartphone app or mobile platform over a defined study period — ranging from days to months. Rooted in the classic diary method and the Experience Sampling Method, its mobile form enables real-time, in-context capture of experience, dramatically reducing retrospective recall bias compared to one-shot surveys or end-of-day questionnaires.	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.
