Affect dynamics are often studied by means of first-order autoregressive (AR) modeling applied to intensive longitudinal data. A key target in these studies is the AR parameter, which tied conceptually regulatory behavior affective process. The data typically gathered using experience sampling methods, designed pick up on fluctuations variables as they evolve over time naturalistic settings. In this manuscript, we compare classical time-contingent designs episode-contingent designs, initiate...

The network theory of psychopathology inspired clinicians and researchers to use idiographic networks study how symptoms an individual interact over time, hoping find the target symptom(s) for intervention most effectively break this self-sustaining network. These are often based on vector autoregressive (VAR) model rely intensive longitudinal data collected in patients’ daily lives. Nowadays, one major challenge these faced with is that they used without sufficient quality assessments....

The Experience Sampling Method (ESM) plays a pivotal role in investigating the dynamics of psychopathological processes daily life. A crucial question when designing ESM studies concerns sample size needed, defined by number participants (𝑁) and measurement occasions per participant (𝑇). Higher 𝑁 𝑇 increase power, but also researcher burden, study cost. Current approaches for planning rarely account these feasibility financial constraints explicitly, despite significant variations studies’...

The multilevel autoregressive (MLAR) model is a popular method for quantifying affective inertia, the resistance of processes to change, using experience sampling (ESM) data. Although missed observations are common in ESM, their effect on estimation performance MLAR remains underexplored. We investigate compliance level, specific missingness mechanisms (i.e., missing completely at random versus tail-based missingness), and temporal patterns (whether or not missings occur consecutively) bias...

Experience-sampling-method (ESM) studies have become a very popular tool to gain insight into the dynamics of psychological processes. Although statistical modeling ESM data has been widely studied, preprocessing steps that precede such received relatively limited attention despite being challenging phase. At same time, adequate is crucial: It provides valuable information about quality and, importantly, helps resolve issues in may compromise validity analyses. To support researchers...

Parental burnout is a growing subject of research, but thus far this research has not examined whether the features parental fluctuate over time. Moreover, parenting and are inextricable from their family context. Therefore, critical next step involves examining how temporally unfold interact with ever-changing environment. To do so, we developed an 11-item experience sampling methodology (ESM) tool to measure self-reported (specifically emotional exhaustion, distance, feeling fed up), as...

Perceived responsiveness, or the extent to which one feels understood, validated and cared for by close others, plays a crucial role in people's well-being. Can this interpersonal process also protect people at risk? We assessed whether fluctuations suicidal ideation were associated with degree of perceived responsiveness that psychiatric patients (admitted context suicide indicating ideation) experienced daily interactions immediately after discharge.

To shed light on the dynamics of psychological processes, researchers often collect intensive longitudinal (IL) data by asking people to repeatedly report their momentary experiences in daily life. Two important decisions when designing an IL study concern number persons and measurement occasions be included. These sample size are ideally based statistical power considerations. When conducting analysis, it is necessary provide value effect interest as well all other model parameters. In...

Researchers increasingly study short-term dynamic processes that evolve within single individuals using N=1 studies. The of interest are typically captured by fitting a VAR(1) model to the resulting data. A crucial question is how perform sample size planning and thus decide on number measurement occasions needed. most popular approach power analysis, which focuses detecting effects interest. We argue performing based out-of-sample predictive accuracy yields additional important information...
