Experience Sampling Method

Autor Joel M Hektner, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Jennifer A Schmidt
en Limba Engleză Paperback – aug 2006

Notăm cu interes acest manual metodologic, Experience Sampling Method, care reprezintă prima lucrare ce reunește fundamentele teoretice și aplicațiile practice ale unei metodologii indispensabile în științele sociale contemporane. Semnat de Joel M Hektner, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi și Jennifer A Schmidt, volumul propune o trecere de la studiul în condiții de laborator la măsurarea calității vieții de zi cu zi în mediul natural al subiecților. Reținem că textul este structurat în două părți esențiale: prima explorează originile și validitatea epistemologică a auto-raportării subiective, în timp ce a doua oferă un ghid logistic riguros pentru colectarea și gestionarea datelor.

Remarcăm o atenție deosebită acordată conceptului de 'flow', Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi detaliind modalitățile prin care această stare optimă de experiență poate fi cuantificată empiric. Lucrarea acoperă aceeași arie metodologică precum Researching Daily Life de Paul J Silvia, însă Experience Sampling Method oferă o perspectivă mai tehnică și mai aprofundată asupra validității psihometrice și a integrării datelor în context cultural și biologic. Spre deosebire de The Experience of Psychopathology, care se concentrează strict pe zona psihiatriei, volumul de față are o aplicabilitate interdisciplinară extinsă, oferind exemple din domenii precum educația, sociologia familiei și sănătatea ocupațională. Progresia capitolelor, de la fundamentare teoretică la dezvoltarea codebook-ului și curățarea datelor, indică o resursă concepută pentru a susține un proiect de cercetare de la stadiul de ipoteză până la publicare.

Descriere scurtă

Experience Sampling Method: Measuring the Quality of Everyday Life is the first book to bring together the theoretical foundations and practical applications of this indispensable methodology. Authors Joel M. Hektner, Jennifer A. Schmidt, and Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi provide fascinating information for anyone interested in how people go about their daily lives. Key Features:áá Provides a step-by-step guide: In nontechnical prose, the book details the logistics of carrying out an Experience Sampling Method (ESM) study and guides the reader through every step of the process, from conceiving the research question to analyzing the data. In addition, a through treatment of the measurement of CsikszentmihalyiÆs flow describes all of the different ways in which flow can be measured. Includes real-life examples: This book gives readers useful tips to consider before implementing a study, based on real-life examples. It illustrates how the ESM has been used to address a diverse array of topics in social science research including the phenomenology of everyday life, gender differences, family relations, work experiences, cross-cultural differences and similarities, school experiences, and mental health. Offers a complete overview of the foundations for ESM: This is the first source to compile findings from a large and increasingly diverse research literature documenting the use of the ESM. A comprehensive overview is given of issues affecting reliability and validity of the method and empirical evidence of its psychometric properties. Intended Audience:áá This is a must-have resource for social and behavioral scientists who are studying the human experience in everyday life and need guidelines for how to validate and present their data. It can also be used in various advanced undergraduate and graduate research methods courses in the departments of Education, Educational Psychology, Psychology, Nursing, and Health.

Recenzii

"This book provides interesting reading for students in research method courses and belongs on the must-read list of investigators who are considering the application of ESM to their own research."

Notă biografică

Joel M. Hektner is an Associate Professor in Human Development and Family Science at North Dakota State University. He holds a Ph.D. in Psychology: Human Development from the University of Chicago and an A.B. in psychology from Princeton University. Before arriving at NDSU, Hektner was a research scientist in child and adolescent psychiatry at the University of Minnesota. He has used ESM to study  the developmental implications of longitudinal changes in adolescent experiences of flow and has written chapters on ESM in several books. In collaboration with students, he has conducted ESM studies of college students, adolescents in residential treatment, and LGB emerging adults. His research interests primarily involve family and peer factors that promote optimal development and evaluations of preventive interventions for antisocial behavior. He is presently working on strategies to strengthen positive peer culture among elementary and middle school children, and to promote more positive parent-child relations.
