📊 How Can Researchers Analyze Experience Sampling Data Effectively? With high-frequency, real-world data, ESM requires advanced techniques to uncover meaningful insights.

In this episode, we explore methodological approaches for analyzing Experience Sampling Method (ESM) data, highlighting its unique challenges and opportunities. We discuss high-frequency, real-time data characteristics, the importance of methodological rigor, and key quantitative techniques such as time-series analysis, multilevel modeling (MLM), and structural equation modeling (SEM). As ESM data captures the complexity of daily experiences, handling variability, ensuring data quality, and applying the right statistical methods are essential for drawing reliable conclusions. Whether you're dealing with subjective self-reports or objective physiological data, this episode will guide you through best practices for extracting meaningful insights from ESM studies.
