Had a great time at the ESM Expert Network Meeting in Rotterdam! I presented the first SHARE study results: we found that paying participants per beep boosts compliance as compared to bulk payment (with or without personalised feedback)—and without harming data quality.

🚨 New preprint: We compared 13 methods for detecting momentary careless responding in the WARN-D data (206k+ obs.). Tutorials guide you through each method. The takeaway? Diverging results, inherent subjectivity (to varying degrees), and a clear need for further validation.

Does data quality drop when participants respond to #EMA / #ESM surveys in the presence of others?
We explored this in a pooled analysis of 4 ESM studies and found (subtle) shifts in burden & response behavior depending on participants’ social context:
