Details:

The daily diary method is one of a class of experience sampling methods that assess variability in the experiences of individuals from moment-to-moment, day-to-day, or week-to-week. As such, the diary method offers a promising way to take a closer look at the dynamics of daily experience in a variety of domains. In this workshop, the issues involved in conducting daily diary research are highlighted by using a recently-completed study of adolescents from diverse ethnic backgrounds in the Los Angeles area.
