註釋This volume addresses the contribution to research methods and, specifically, phenomenology, known as the Experience Sampling Method (ESM). ESM is a research procedure for studying what people do, feel, and think during their everyday lives. It consists of asking individuals to provide systematic self-reports at random occasions during the waking hours of their lives. Experience Sampling Method: Measuring Everyday Life is intended as a step-by-step guide for social and behavioral scientists who are interested in doing research about the experience and quality of people's everyday lives. Part I describes methods and procedures that have been used effectively for studying human experience; Part II provides the psychometric information necessary to evaluate the reliability and validity of the measurements; and Part III presents a sampler of findings as an indication of the kind of questions that such studies can answer. It gives a complete overview of the foundations for ESM, provides a step-by-step guide for researchers designing and implementing an ESM study, offers useful tips to consider before implementing a study, and lists specific uses for ESM in research, including coverage of gender, family life, work, cross-cultural differences, education, and clinical applications.
