A step-by-step guide to researching what people do in their
everyday lives. This practical, beginner-friendly book teaches
readers how to do daily life research, which is the study of what
people do in their ordinary environments in their everyday lives.
The basic approach is to collect data intensively over time, at
least once a day for many days, in people's natural environments
rather than in research labs. Common methods include daily diaries,
experience sampling, and ecological momentary assessment.
Collectively, these methods trade off the control and precision of
the lab for the texture, depth, and realism of the real world. The
book walks readers through the entire process of the research
project, including first selecting a design and developing survey
items, then collecting and cleaning data, and finally analyzing and
disseminating the findings. With example studies pulled from all
areas of psychology, the book will provide students with the
conceptual foundation and practical knowledge needed to examine
psychological processes 'up close' in ways that experimental and
survey methods can't.
