Muhtasari	A Remote Research Diary is a qualitative data collection method in which participants record their thoughts, experiences, and reflections in a structured or semi-structured journal over time, submitting entries to the researcher without face-to-face contact. Conducted via email, secure web platforms, or dedicated apps, this approach captures longitudinal, in-situ accounts of lived experience while eliminating geographic barriers and reducing observer effects.	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.
