研究结果的普适性是心理学研究的黄金标准之一。为达到此目标,研究者不断创造生态效度更高,也更具现实意义的研究方法。通过在现实情境下对被试多次重复测量进行数据收集的研究方法--经验取样法(experience sampling method),一经提出就备受研究者的青睐。文章在综合介绍经验取样法的概念、实施过程和数据处理的基础上,比较和阐述了该方法的优劣势,以及该方法的主要应用领域。文章最后对经验取样法的应用领域和未来发展作了展望。
The generalizability of research findings is the golden standard of psychological research. To achieve this goal, researchers constantly develop more realistic research methods with higher ecological validity. Experience sampling method (ESM), a method of data collection by which participants respond to repeated assessments at moments during the.course of the time in real situation, is highly favored by various researchers since it was proposed. This article introduced this data collection method and its statistical analyses processes, compared and elaborated the strengths and weakness of this method, and illustrated its main application fields. Finally, the future studies of experience sampling method were discussed as well.
