A 4 day ESM study assessing core affective experiences across a short timescale, with a baseline and follow-up session.
ViewParticipants completed demographics and wellbeing questionnaires in the baseline, followed by a 7 days of ESM surveys assessing emotion regulation and contextual features.
ViewParticipants completed a baseline survey on day 0 and then completed 9 momentary surveys and one daily diary per day for seven days. Participants answered momentary and daily emotion-related questions including ideographic questions and affective forecasting. Data was collected over a period in which lockdowns were taking place in Melbourne.

ViewAn ESM study with community members across 14 days in Belgium, with a follow-up questionnaire 2 months after baseline. At each survey, participants were asked if they had experienced a negative event, and answered questions about that event or about a positive or neutral event.
ViewFirst, a screening survey was completed on Qualtrics to assess potential participants eligibility for the study. If eligible, participants completed the baseline survey, also on Qualtrics. At the beginning of this survey, participants were given the Plain Language Statement and provided informed consent. Participants then responded to a number of self-report measures of emotion-relevant trait variables. At the end of the baseline participants watched two videos explaining the methdological details of the study and how to use the SEMA3 ESM survey smartphone app. The day after the baseline, participants began the ESM component, where they received survey notifications on their smartphones via the application SEMA3. Participants received 8 surveys each day for seven consecutive days. Participants responded to 22 questions in each ESM survey. The questions were identical in each survey. In the ESM surveys participants were asked about their emotion regulation efforts, emotion regulation strategies, current emotions and other emotion regulation related items. To ensure an equal distribution of surveys across the day, the surveys were scheduled using a stratified random interval scheme, with the day divided into eight equal windows. Participants received an ESM prompt at a random time within the first 45 minutes of each window. To ensure two surveys did not arrive too close together, we programmed the survey so that there were at least 30 minutes between beeps. Once they received a beep, participants had 20 minutes to fill out the survey. If a participant did not respond within the first 10 minutes, they received a survey reminder, and if they still did not respond they received another reminder just before the end of the expiry period. Participants received approximately 56 surveys overall (M = 55.66).

View21-day ESM study with a baseline and follow-up questionnaire. Assesses individual differences in emotion regulation strategies in daily life. Participants also reported on a range of emotion related items, such as their momentary affect and desired affect.
ViewFollows undergraduate students through their first year at university through three waves of data collection: Wave 2 conducted 4 months after Wave 1; then Wave 3 conducted 8 months after Wave 2. Each wave started with a lab session in which participants completed computerized self-report questionnaires and cognitive tasks. After 7 days of ESM, participants returned to the lab, gave back the smartphones, completed additional self-report questionnaires (including the experienced stress questionnaire) and lab tasks, and were paid and debriefed.

ViewAn ESM study, with a baseline and follow session, assessing experiences of emotion and emotion regulation in daily life for 7 days.
ViewFirst, participants completed an online baseline survey two days prior to the ESM phase. The baseline comprised demographic questions, reports of meditation experience, meditation practice frequency and several validated self-report questionnaires. The day before the ESM phase, participants installed the SEMA3 app which was used to send the ESM surveys to participants. On this day participants also watched videos with instructions on how to use the app, and explanations of the content of the ESM surveys. The following day the ESM phase commenced where participants received 8 ESM surveys each day for 10 days. ESM surveys were sent via a stratified random-interval scheme. Participants received one survey approximately every 90 minutes. At each ESM survey, participants were randomly assigned to the mindfulness or active control task. Either intervention or control instructions were presented to participants asking them to listen to a 3-minute audio task hosted on soundcloud.com, after which participants were instructed to return to the ESM questionnaire. They then completed 15 ESM items. The same set of items were asked, regardless of whether the participants was assigned to the control or intervention task for each survey. The probability of receiving either task varied between-persons, however this was also randomly assigned. Therefore, while all participants received either the mindfulness or active control task throughout the study, the proportion of interventions delivered differed between participants.
