Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) collects real-time data in daily life, enhancing ecological validity and reducing recall bias. An EMA questionnaire that measures symptoms transdiagnostic factors was recently developed with network modeling purposes. This study examines this protocol's (a) subjective experience (e.g., burden, item clarity, survey frequency adequacy); (b) compliance, dropout, predictors thereof; (c) the variability of items across within participants; (d) relations...

Measuring subjective experiences in Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) studies has become a popular approach. A design choice such is the response scale of survey questions. Typically, researchers choose between Likert and visual analog (VAS). However, there little guidance on this choice. We conducted between-person experiment comparing 7-point (n=63) with VAS (n=56) an EMA study measuring affective states over 14 days. Using Bayesian multilevel models, we found that resulted moderately...

Measuring subjective experiences in Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) studies has become a popular research design. A key design choice such is the response scale of survey questions. Typically, researchers choose between Likert and visual analog (VAS). However, there little guidance on this choice. We conducted between-person experiment comparing 7-point (N=73) with VAS (N=65) an EMA study measuring affective states over 14 days. Using Bayesian multilevel models, we found that compared...

Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) collects real-time data in daily life, enhancing ecological validity and reducing recall bias. An EMA questionnaire that measures symptoms transdiagnostic factors was recently developed with network modeling purposes. This study examines this protocol’s (1) subjective experience (e.g., burden, item clarity, survey frequency adequacy, etc), (2) compliance, dropout, predictors thereof, (3) the variability of items across within participants, (4) relations...

The network perspective to psychopathology posits that mental disorders emerge from the dynamic interactions of elements such as emotions, cognitions, behaviors and symptoms. Investigating requires studying how they unfold over time, there is agreement studies should go beyond single disorder. Of many challenges facing this field, a critical obstacle lack transdiagnostic Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) measurement protocol study full range modelling. current aims fill gap in three...

Network theory conceptualizes mental disorders as systems of dynamic interactions among symptoms and other variables, proposes that people with psychopathology have distinct networks compared to healthy people. However, this idea is rarely investigated, are mostly estimated on cross-sectional data. Importantly, network specified the within-person level, it necessary estimate based intensive time-series This study contemporaneous temporal transdiagnostic data participants different levels...

Abstract Objectives The network approach to psychopathology posits that mental disorders emerge from dynamic interactions among psychopathology‐relevant variables. Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) is frequently used assess these variables in daily life. Considering the transdiagnostic nature of psychopathology, this study describes development a EMA protocol for psychopathology. Methods First, 96 clinicians completed an online survey, providing three constructs up they specialize in,...

La cantidad de investigaciones sobre bienestar subjetivo ha experimentado un aumento durante las últimas décadas. Por lo tanto, supone gran interés disponer instrumentos para su medición validados en los contextos uso, así aumentar la calidad esta. El instrumento que más se emplea medir satisfacción con vida es “Satisfaction With Life Scale” (SWLS). ello, el propósito este trabajo sido analizar propiedades psicométricas esta escala. muestra conformaron 1332 jóvenes angoleños, edades...

The network perspective of psychopathology proposes that mental disorders arise from dynamic interactions between psychopathology-relevant variables. This study explored the robustness, generalizability, and heterogeneity networks using Ecological Momentary Assessment data 173 participants. Robustness - i.e., how precisely model parameters are estimated nomothetic was assessed via case-dropping bootstrapping. Translatability (i.e., much group-derived estimates reflect individual processes)...
