Description:
4 hour hands-on workshop on Experience Sampling Method (ESM). The Experience Sampling Method (ESM) helps social scientists to observe and measure the reality of daily life. The idea is to observe experience continuously over a longer period of time. This approach has several advantages. For example, it minimises the recall bias that occurs with retrospective measures of experience in survey-based techniques. It opens new insights into participants' experiences. It is suitable for both qualitative and quantitative research, and the rich data produced allows for a full range of sophisticated analysis. However, this abundance can be a pitfall for the unwary, and a great deal of commitment is required from researchers and participants.
The workshop explores the benefits and challenges of working with ESM. Participants will be encouraged to think about their own research in relation to ESM. The ramifications of choosing this technique will be discussed with specific reference to each participant's subject area.
