9. Ambulatory Assessment
Ambulatory assessment - the acquisition of psychological and/or
physiological data in a natural setting - is a field which, as this volume's
title suggests, rapid progress is being made. With contributions from
North America and Europe, the text explores in detail the use of
computer-assisted methods in both research and applied settings.
Innovative techniques and approaches are described, which go far
beyond the simple use of portable computers for data collection: online
analysis and feedback, real-time processing, electronic diaries,
ambulatory psychological tests and physiological measurements, event-
contingent applications and more are covered. In addition to describing
techniques, the text also describes concrete applications (and presents
some results) of a variety of methods in real-life occupational and clinical
settings. Examples include patients with chronic pain, borderline
personality disorder, high blood pressure, asthma, diabetes or hot flashes
in the clinical area; and aviation, air traffic control, occupational stress
and heart rate or blood pressure in the occupational area.

10. Ambulatory Assessment
• Another form of physiological/biological AA includes the assessment of
hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activity by collecting salivary cortisol
during daily life.
• Cortisol reactivity to stressful events is believed to be enhanced in those
with emotion regulation problems. Havermans et al. (2011) explored
whether cortisol reactivity patterns would differentiate remitted bipolar
patients from normal controls.
• Patients in remission from bipolar disorder and healthy controls were
prompted 10 times a day for six consecutive days to produce a saliva
sample and, at each time point, were asked about the experience of a
positive or a negative event since the last prompt. Results indicated that
the two groups did not differ in mean cortisol levels over the six days and
that members of both groups, on average, showed similar levels of cortisol
reactivity to negative events.
