Experience sampling
TIME DIARY: A time diary for the day preceding the survey was filled out in class. So the time spend with different activities could be calculated. EXPERIENCE SAMPLING METHOD: Respondents were signalled by a pre-programmed digital wrist-watch eight times a day durring the course of a week. At the time of the beep, they filled in a short self-report form about e.g. precise time, the company he was with, what he was doing and a number of experiential states. Measures of several experiential states were subsequently combiend into variables, e.g. affect (feeling happy, cheerful, good)
