Description: In recent years, the popularity of Experience Sampling Measures (ESM) have exploded. ESM has been touted as the solution to issues with static measures of psychological constructs, including lack of ecological validity and variability. Despite this, however, there are almost no comprehensive resources for building ESM studies, resulting in great heterogeneity in survey construction and data collection. This workshop aims to introduce beginners interested in using ESM to core considerations and issues in ESM research, including item selection, survey construction, survey distribution, and data maintenance. In addition, this workshop will consider how choices in each of these stages have implications for whether and to what degree the resulting ESM data can be used with other dynamic techniques taught at the forum. Speaker: Emorie Beck
