# Project Description The goal of this project is to compare the day reconstruction method (DRM) to the experience sampling method (ESM). Specifically, we wanted to assess whether reports of time spent and affect experienced in different situations was agreed across these two methods. We conducted two studies to test this cross-method convergence. In each study, participants completed an initial questionnaire assessing personality and well-being. They then participated in one day of experience sampling, during which they were signaled up to eight times to complete a brief questionnaire about their activities and affect. Finally, the day after the experience sampling component, participants reconstructed their day using the procedures of the DRM. ESM and DRM reports were matched based on time and then convergence across methods was assessed. Specifically, we examined convergence at the activity level (e.g., do estimates of average amount of time spent in various situations agree), the person level (e.g., are estimates of average affect over the course of the day similar across methods), and the within-person level (e.g., do changes in affect over the course of day correlate across methods). This OSF project provides additional information about the studies. Specifically, the "Study Materials" component includes the exact materials used in the two studies. In Study 1, there are codebooks for the initial survey, the questions used in the ESM and DRM studies, and an informant survey that was not analyzed as part of this project. Study 2 used a different method for administering the survey. The codebook reflects the output from an app specifically developed for this study. The codebook is presented in the form of an Excel spreadsheet. There are tabs for each component of the study (first survey, esm, and drm). Each component has a list of questions in the "labels" tab, and a list of response options in the "coding" tab. The DRM component is split into two separate groups of tabs, one for general questions asked once during the DRM and once for questions asked about each of the episodes. In addition to these study materials, this OSF page has a component that includes additional tables and analyses that could not be included in the paper for length reasons. Specifically, the following analyses are included: * * *
