Crafting Effective Experience Sampling Method (ESM) Prompts: Tips and Examples _ Next-Gen Research Techniques

🔹 Are your research prompts actually capturing what matters? 🔹
🔹 The right question at the right time can make all the difference in Experience Sampling Method (ESM) studies! 🔹

Crafting effective ESM prompts isn’t just about asking questions—it’s about designing them in a way that enhances participant engagement and ensures high-quality data. In this episode, we explore how well-designed prompts serve as the foundation for meaningful real-world data collection, offering key principles for clarity, engagement, and relevance.

This episode is based on a LinkedIn article from the Next-Gen Research Techniques newsletter. Read more here: 🔗 LinkedIn Article. Please note that this episode is narrated using an AI-generated voice.
