mobileQ

mobileQ supports experience sampling (ESM/EMA) research by enabling experimenter-controlled deployment of study protocols to dedicated devices for structured collection of real-time self-report data in naturalistic settings.


Key Features:

  • Dedicated-device deployment: Deploys study protocols to dedicated research phones to maintain experimenter control and mitigate selection bias.
  • Study configuration: Allows configuration of study parameters to define structured ESM/EMA protocols.
  • Consistent data collection: Ensures consistent collection of self-report data across participants.
  • ESM/EMA support: Supports experience sampling/ecological momentary assessment methods for in-situ, real-time data capture.

Scientific Applications:

  • Experience Sampling (ESM/EMA): Collects real-time data on individuals' experiences and behaviors in naturalistic settings for ESM/EMA studies.
  • Psychology and related fields: Supports research requiring in-situ measurement of experiences and behaviors in psychological and allied disciplines.

Methodology:

Configure study parameters and deploy study protocols to dedicated devices to collect structured ESM/EMA self-report data under experimenter control to reduce selection bias and ensure consistent data collection across participants.
