How to Select Participants for an Experience Sampling Method (ESM) Study: Sampling Techniques _ Next-Gen Research Techniques

🎙️ Selecting the Right Participants for ESM Research – Why It Matters!
The success of an ESM study depends on choosing the right participants. Here’s how to do it effectively.

In this episode, we discuss key sampling techniques for Experience Sampling Method (ESM) research, including random sampling, stratified sampling, and convenience sampling. Learn how these methods impact data quality, generalizability, and study reliability—and how to balance feasibility with methodological rigor. We’ll also cover strategies to minimize bias and maximize participant diversity to ensure your study yields meaningful and applicable results.
