Navigating the many options of experience sampling can be challenging. This webinar offers practical guidance on choosing a sampling design and understanding how these decisions shape research outcomes.
presenter: Dr. Miriam Jähne (Friedrich Schiller University Jena)
About the event:
Experience sampling methodology has become increasingly popular to examine daily life. It comes with multiple data collection options, so-called sampling designs, which aim to cover different aspects of daily dynamics. This webinar aims to provide structure when deciding on a sampling design. For this, we will address the following issues: Taking key considerations into account, how can we decide on a sampling design to answer a research question? If there are multiple sampling designs available, how do I make an informed decision? Specifically, we will share our experiences when there are no empirical indications of a sampling design being superior. Finally, we will put the decision-making process into a broader context by discussing how our decisions on sampling designs affect psychological research in general.
Why attend?
Participants will gain an overview of common experience sampling designs, decision criteria for choosing between them, and the broader methodological implications of these choices.
