Data-Prompted Interviews
Summary
In this session, Amelia unpacks data-prompted interviews with an emphasis on Experience Sampling Methods. You will learn the essentials of running an Experience Sampling study and how to use quantitative data during interviews to enhance our understanding of daily life activities and experiences.
Key Insights
-
•
Data prompted interviews use participants’ own quantitative data to guide qualitative exploration, enhancing insight depth.
-
•
Experience Sampling Methods capture real-time, repeated snapshots of participants’ thoughts and actions to track temporal patterns.
-
•
Balancing sampling frequency, survey length, and study duration is critical to avoid participant fatigue in longitudinal ESM studies.
-
•
Four trigger types in ESM—random, fixed, contextual, and self-initiated—serve distinct research purposes.
-
•
High attrition and resource intensity are common challenges in ESM, necessitating careful preparation and participant engagement.
-
•
Reactivity, where participants alter behavior due to observation, is an inherent feature of ESM and can enhance participant metacognition.
-
•
Unstructured interviews following ESM offer participant-controlled, rich narratives that reveal the why behind quantitative patterns.
-
•
ESM is well-suited for sensitive topics by enabling in-the-moment data collection in natural settings.
-
•
Tools like XPL facilitate ESM research by providing mobile-friendly forms, scheduling, and easy data export for analysis.
-
•
Mixed methods pairing of ESM and qualitative interviews can be tailored by purposive sampling from the quantitative pool for deeper understanding.
