Description

Ana Portillo-Van Diest and a large team of co-authors check, in a 2024 study, the data quality of a phone-based mental health survey of students. The method, called ecological momentary assessment, pings people many times a day to rate their mood in real life. It is used more and more, yet who takes part, who keeps up, and how sound the answers are remain poorly mapped.

They invited 1,259 university students to a fifteen-day study. About sixty-two percent joined, and those who did answered about seventy-seven percent of the prompts on average. The team tested which traits predicted joining and keeping up, how steady the mood ratings were, and how to spot careless answers. Their checks give future studies a firmer base.
