Muhtasari	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.	Mobile Experience Sampling (ESM) is an intensive longitudinal data-collection technique in which participants respond to brief, repeated questionnaires delivered to their smartphones at random or scheduled intervals throughout the day. By capturing thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and context at or near the moment they occur, ESM minimises retrospective recall bias and provides a high-resolution picture of psychological and behavioral fluctuations in everyday life.
