This one-day course will be offered via Zoom. Attendance is required as the course will not be recorded.

Daily life methods are a family of methods used to study what people do in their ordinary environments in their everyday lives through collecting data at least once a day for several days. Two common forms of daily life methods, daily diaries and experience sampling methods, will be emphasized in this course. In this course, the instructor will cover four topics:
1) What are daily life methods?;
2) What questions are best suited for daily life methods?;
3) How do I collect data using daily life methods?; and
4) How do I process and present data from daily life research?

This course will be interactive and present opportunities for attendees to start thinking about how to apply daily life methods to their own programs of research.
