Article Synopsis
- A study involving 7,016 individuals found that proper design in experience sampling studies is crucial for understanding how affect dynamics relate to well-being and health, revealing a framework to improve research efficiency.*
-
- The research suggests that having 200 participants with 20 reports each allows for adequate power to detect most meaningful associations, while less frequent sampling spread over weeks is often more effective than concentrated daily measurements.*
-
- Additionally, sampling at random times throughout a period offers similar results as focusing on specific days, indicating that the design of sampling needs to be tailored to the specific affect measures being studied.*
