Abstract

Experience sampling (ES)—also referred to as ecological momentary assessment (EMA)—is a data collection method that involves asking study participants to report on their thoughts, feelings, behaviors, activities, and environments in (or near) real time. ES/EMA is typically administered using an intensive longitudinal design (repeated assessments within and across days). Although use of ES/EMA is widespread in psychology and health sciences, uptake of the method among sociologists has been limited. We argue that ES/EMA offers key advantages for the investigation of sociologically relevant phenomena, particularly in light of recent disciplinary emphasis on investigating the everyday mechanisms through which social structures and micro (individual and relational) processes are mutually constitutive. We describe extant and potential research applications illustrating the advantages of ES/EMA regarding enhanced validity, illuminating micro-temporal processes, and the potential for linkage with spatially and temporally referenced data sources. We also consider methodological challenges facing sociological research using ES/EMA.

利用经验取样/生态瞬间评估对日常生活进行社会学调查

经验取样（ES）--又称生态瞬间评估（EMA）--是一种数据收集方法，要求研究参与者实时（或接近实时）报告他们的想法、感受、行为、活动和环境。ES/EMA 通常采用密集纵向设计（在日内和日间重复评估）进行管理。尽管 ES/EMA 在心理学和健康科学领域得到了广泛应用，但社会学家对该方法的接受程度却很有限。我们认为，ES/EMA 为调查社会学相关现象提供了关键优势，特别是考虑到最近学科强调调查社会结构和微观（个人和关系）过程相互构成的日常机制。我们将介绍现有的和潜在的研究应用，说明 ES/EMA 在提高有效性、阐明微观时间过程以及与空间和时间参考数据源建立联系方面的优势。我们还考虑了使用 ES/EMA 进行社会学研究在方法上面临的挑战。
