In this PPT, we'll explore the concept of EMA, the applications and benefits of using Ecological Momentary Assessment software, and why it's becoming increasingly essential in various fields.
This chapter discusses methods for collecting data in research. It describes several common methods like surveys, interviews, tests, observations, and record reviews. It emphasizes the importance of reliability and validity in ensuring accurate and meaningful results. Reliability refers to collecting data precisely the same way each time. Validity refers to measuring what was intended. The chapter provides examples of how to check for reliability and validity, such as using a standardized scale or cross-checking survey responses with biochemical tests. Errors can decrease accuracy and should be minimized.

RESEARCH PROBLEM

A potential quantitative research problem
Like it is well known and understood, a research problem is always considered to be the statement that is all about a particular area of concern, specifically it can be termed as a condition to be widely improved, a troubling question that at times exists in a scholarly literature or difficulty to be eliminated, in a possible practice that usually points to the need for the deliberate investigation and meaningful understanding.
Research problem
In this case, the research problem is specifically the act of reducing or eliminating workers (employees) noncompliance with either rules or policies that are always considered to be more important for organization operations or security. This automatically includes the reduction of careless noncompliance or inadvertent as well as willful actions by workers who at many times cause harm to an organization. This particular problem has been deeply researched over the years and today it still exists. (Guo, Yuan, Archer, & Connelly, 2011; Vance, Siponen, & Pahnila, 2012; Chen, Ramamurthy, & Wen, 2012; Siponen, Mahmood, & Pahnila, 2014)
Mahmood, Pahnila, and Siponen (2014) clearly explained that all the security incidents have really increased in the past decades and that workers are not consequently following the legal policies that are put in place so as it reduces the risk of the security incident. The compliance with pure security rules or policies is, therefore, a deep concern for companies. Many companies are always concerned about their workers' compliance with other workmates, on the other hand, related policies for instance environment policies and social media policies.
According to the idea of Mahmood, Pahnila, and Siponen (2014), the research which entails on the improvement of the general security policy compliance have;
i. It presents the conceptual idea without the use of any theory.
ii. It uses theory to develop insights without any type of empirical tests
iii. Testing theory based ideas for empirical improvement.
Furthermore, Mahmood, Pahnila, and Siponen (2014); Siponen, Vance, & Pahnila (2012); Ramamurthy, Chen & Wen (2012) and lastly Guo, Archer, Yuan & Connely 2011), are all good examples of research based on the security policy compliance t.

Quantitative research uses objective measurements and statistical analysis of numeric data to understand phenomena and test hypotheses. It is used across many fields to generalize results from a sample to a population, test cause-and-effect relationships through experiments, and structure the collection of standardized and reliable data. Some key uses of quantitative research include understanding human behavior, evaluating business strategies and product testing, advancing medical knowledge, and analyzing the impacts of interventions.
Here are the answers to the quiz:
1. Research is a systematic process of collecting and analyzing information to increase our understanding of a topic or issue. It involves the discovery of new facts or testing new ideas.
2. Two reasons why we need to conduct research are:
- To gain new knowledge and understanding. Research allows us to discover new facts and relationships that were previously unknown. This expands our body of knowledge.
- To solve problems. Research helps us identify solutions to problems by testing new ideas and approaches through a systematic process. This allows us to improve practices, products, policies and theories.
3. Two general and specific purposes of research are:
- Description - Research describes a phenomenon. For example,
The document describes the development and goals of the Semantic Cognition in Language (SCiL) application, which aims to conduct online cognitive research experiments with millisecond accuracy. It details the implementation of semantic priming and categorization tasks to measure memory retrieval times. Extensive questionnaires have also been developed to collect demographic and medical background information from participants. The researchers hope to validate these tasks and measures by replicating previous studies and exploring correlations with vocabulary level and other individual difference factors. Future work includes refining the tasks and measures based on pilot study results and making the application available across multiple device platforms.

Introduction
There is excessive use of internet today both by the old and the young. It common to see people spending most of their time behind computers or using their mobile phones browsing the internet and assessing social media. Internet is beneficial for various reasons such as entertainment, social interaction, education and even work. There have been concerns as to whether this excessive use of internet by individuals has a negative impact on their psychological health. Some of the aspects that internet has been seen to affect one’s psychological health include; anxiety, sleep, stress, depression and even social life. Some researchers have conducted studies which link excessive use of internet to extreme cases of low self-esteem and suicidal thoughts. The focus of this paper is to analyze the statistics and measurements that will be used in the research which will be conducted to confirm if excessive internet use has a negative impact on psychological health.
Type of Research
The research to find out if excessive use of internet affects psychological health will be quantitative. This is where the variables will be assigned numerical date in scales and during data collection. After obtaining results from the date collection process, the collected data will be analyzed using various statistical analysis tests. The use of quantitative research in this case will be important to the test in various ways. Quantitative research tends to be more objective and reliable compared to qualitative research (Balnaves, 2001). It is also significant as statistics can be used to conclude a finding. The complex problem in a research study can be restructured and reduced to a smaller number of variables. It also focusses association and relationship between variables and can describe cause and effect easily. After results have been analyzed, quantitative research can easily test hypothesis and theories. It is important through its assumption that a sample represents the whole population. There is less recognition of the researcher’s subjectivity and therefore there is less biasness in this kind of research.
Variables
The qualitative study will be relational as it will analyze the relationship between various variables. There will be collection of data among university students who will be selected randomly and they will fill a questionnaire. The variables in the research study can be generally divided into two categories; internet use and psychological health. The data on internet use will be collected using Online Cognition Scale (OCS) ...

Psychologists use three main research methods to study human behavior: observation, correlation, and experimentation. Observation involves directly observing and recording behaviors in natural settings, correlation examines relationships between variables, and experimentation systematically manipulates variables to test hypotheses about causation. Each method has advantages like providing naturalistic, quantitative, or controlled data, but also limitations such as lack of control, inability to determine causation, or reduced ecological validity.

Introduction
Elicitation refers to a technique used unnoticeably to collect information.
Experimentation and observation techniques are used in data/ information collection.
Observation technique is, watching what people do.
An experimental research involves a situation where the researcher manipulates one variable, and control the rest of the variables.
Experimentation techniques are used to investigate or analyze an occurrence, and come up with conclusion. It has a control group and the subjects have been randomly assigned between the groups, and the researcher only tests one effect at a time.
2
Rationale of the techniques
Helps one to find out what they don’t know concerning a given category of people.
Information is the basic requirement to have high quality decision-making
Information is a good tool when planning on data analysis
There are different methods of research methods for obtaining information such as; survey, focus group, demographic information, interviews, similar business, chambers of commerce, trend information, psychographic information, associations and adverts. These techniques are important in that they provide the required information for research, (Parker, 2004).

Different observation techniques
Complete observer
Observer as participant
Participant as observer
Complete participant
Complete observer: This is a detached observer where the researcher is neither seen nor noticed by participants.
Observer as participant: Here the researcher is known and recognized by the participants and in many cases, the participants know the research goals of the observer.
Participant as observer: Here the researcher is fully engaged with the participants. She is more of a friend or colleague than a neutral third party.
Complete participant: This is a fully embedded researcher, almost like a spy. Here the observer fully engages with the participants and partakes in their activities.

Different experimentation techniques
Experiments are of two types:
Those conducted in a laboratory setting
And those which are executed in natural settings; these are referred to as field experiments.
There are a number of potential impediments to obtaining valid results from experiments.
There are a number of potential impediments to obtaining valid results from experiments. These may be categorized according to whether a given confounding factor has internal validity, external validity, or both.
Internal validity is called into question when there is doubt that the experimental treatment is actually responsible for changes in the value of the dependent variable. External validity becomes an issue when there is uncertainty as to whether experimental findings can be generalized to a defined population.

Different experimentation techniques
Personal interviews-personal interviews include unstructured, open-ended questions.
Observation-Individual responses to surveys and focus groups are sometimes at od.
This study developed a survey instrument to segment physicians into groups based on their preferences and opinions regarding information technology. The survey was developed using qualitative research including interviews and focus groups. It presented physicians with statements about IT to rank order.
The findings identified six distinct preference profiles among physicians: 1) "Full-Range Adopters" who saw many benefits of IT, 2) "Skills-Concerned Adopters" who saw benefits but had skills concerns, 3) "Technology-Critical Adopters" who saw benefits but had strong concerns about privacy, monitoring and skills, 4) "Independently-Minded and Concerned" who emphasized independent research uses of IT but also had strong privacy and skills concerns
Behavioral science systematically studies behavior through controlled experiments and observations. It encompasses how organisms interact in nature. Unlike lay understanding, behavioral science uses scientific methods to understand and predict behavior objectively. The core disciplines are psychology, sociology, and anthropology. Psychology studies behavior through cause-and-effect, sociology examines social systems, and anthropology understands human-environment relationships. Common methods are experiments, observation, case studies, questionnaires, and interviews.

The document describes the Semantic Cognition in Language (SCiL) mobile application, which was developed to collect data on factors that may be related to dementia through questionnaires and cognitive tasks. It aims to study semantic memory and categorization abilities in older adults using priming and categorization exercises. The app was created using the ResearchKit framework and includes over 100 background and health questions. The researchers hope to identify variables that correlate with memory loss by analyzing the data from a large, diverse pool of participants.
This document provides an overview of quantitative research methods. It begins by defining quantitative research as objective and empirical, utilizing numerical data and analysis. It then describes key characteristics of quantitative research like clearly defined research questions, structured instruments, and large sample sizes. Strengths are listed as being objective, replicable, and allowing for statistical analysis, while weaknesses include high costs and potential inaccuracy. Different types of quantitative research are defined, including descriptive, correlational, experimental, and survey research. The document concludes by explaining key concepts in quantitative research like variables, and distinguishing between independent, dependent, intervening, and confounding variables.
Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) is a methodology that involves repeated assessments of participants in their natural environments over time to minimize retrospective recall bias. EMA collects data on behaviors, thoughts, and emotions as they occur to better characterize experiences. Traditional questionnaires are limited as psychological variables fluctuate and behavior is seldom observed as it unfolds. EMA uses signals, time-based prompts, and emerging technologies like mobile apps to measure within-person variability and micro-temporal relationships between variables of interest. EMA has been used in clinical studies of conditions like ADHD, ASD, mood disorders, and eating disorders to provide insights into symptom fluctuations and contexts.
Research Evaluation And Data Collection MethodsJessica Robles
The document discusses research evaluation and data collection methods used by Healthy People 2020, a US government program that sets national health objectives. It identifies measuring objectives, increasing public awareness of health determinants, providing measurable goals, engaging stakeholders, and identifying research methods as key missions. Healthy People 2020 aims to improve quality and length of life, achieve health equity, create health-promoting environments, and promote well-being across all life stages. One focus area is reducing the disease and economic burden of diabetes and improving quality of life for those with diabetes.
Observation can be defined as perceiving data through the senses and is used by researchers to gather empirical data. There are two main types of observation: direct observation where the observer directly sees or hears everything happening, and indirect observation where the observer analyzes past traces like recordings or documents. Observation methods include continuous monitoring to evaluate interactions, and spot sampling like time allocation and experience sampling to record activities at various times. Observation allows researchers to directly collect first-hand information but lacks control over variables and can be difficult to quantify data.

Introduction
There is excessive use of internet today both by the old and the young. It common to see people spending most of their time behind computers or using their mobile phones browsing the internet and assessing social media. Internet is beneficial for various reasons such as entertainment, social interaction, education and even work. There have been concerns as to whether this excessive use of internet by individuals has a negative impact on their psychological health. Some of the aspects that internet has been seen to affect one’s psychological health include; anxiety, sleep, stress, depression and even social life. Some researchers have conducted studies which link excessive use of internet to extreme cases of low self-esteem and suicidal thoughts. The focus of this paper is to analyze the statistics and measurements that will be used in the research which will be conducted to confirm if excessive internet use has a negative impact on psychological health.
Type of Research
The research to find out if excessive use of internet affects psychological health will be quantitative. This is where the variables will be assigned numerical date in scales and during data collection. After obtaining results from the date collection process, the collected data will be analyzed using various statistical analysis tests. The use of quantitative research in this case will be important to the test in various ways. Quantitative research tends to be more objective and reliable compared to qualitative research (Balnaves, 2001). It is also significant as statistics can be used to conclude a finding. The complex problem in a research study can be restructured and reduced to a smaller number of variables. It also focusses association and relationship between variables and can describe cause and effect easily. After results have been analyzed, quantitative research can easily test hypothesis and theories. It is important through its assumption that a sample represents the whole population. There is less recognition of the researcher’s subjectivity and therefore there is less biasness in this kind of research.
Variables
The qualitative study will be relational as it will analyze the relationship between various variables. There will be collection of data among university students who will be selected randomly and they will fill a questionnaire. The variables in the research study can be generally divided into two categories; internet use and psychological health. The data on internet use will be collected using Online Cognition Scale (OCS) ...

Psychologists use three main research methods to study human behavior: observation, correlation, and experimentation. Observation involves directly observing and recording behaviors in natural settings, correlation examines relationships between variables, and experimentation systematically manipulates variables to test hypotheses about causation. Each method has advantages like providing naturalistic, quantitative, or controlled data, but also limitations such as lack of control, inability to determine causation, or reduced ecological validity.

Introduction
Elicitation refers to a technique used unnoticeably to collect information.
Experimentation and observation techniques are used in data/ information collection.
Observation technique is, watching what people do.
An experimental research involves a situation where the researcher manipulates one variable, and control the rest of the variables.
Experimentation techniques are used to investigate or analyze an occurrence, and come up with conclusion. It has a control group and the subjects have been randomly assigned between the groups, and the researcher only tests one effect at a time.
2
Rationale of the techniques
Helps one to find out what they don’t know concerning a given category of people.
Information is the basic requirement to have high quality decision-making
Information is a good tool when planning on data analysis
There are different methods of research methods for obtaining information such as; survey, focus group, demographic information, interviews, similar business, chambers of commerce, trend information, psychographic information, associations and adverts. These techniques are important in that they provide the required information for research, (Parker, 2004).

Participant as observer
Complete participant
Complete observer: This is a detached observer where the researcher is neither seen nor noticed by participants.
Observer as participant: Here the researcher is known and recognized by the participants and in many cases, the participants know the research goals of the observer.
Participant as observer: Here the researcher is fully engaged with the participants. She is more of a friend or colleague than a neutral third party.
Complete participant: This is a fully embedded researcher, almost like a spy. Here the observer fully engages with the participants and partakes in their activities.

Different experimentation techniques
Experiments are of two types:
Those conducted in a laboratory setting
And those which are executed in natural settings; these are referred to as field experiments.
There are a number of potential impediments to obtaining valid results from experiments.
There are a number of potential impediments to obtaining valid results from experiments. These may be categorized according to whether a given confounding factor has internal validity, external validity, or both.
Internal validity is called into question when there is doubt that the experimental treatment is actually responsible for changes in the value of the dependent variable. External validity becomes an issue when there is uncertainty as to whether experimental findings can be generalized to a defined population.

Different experimentation techniques
Personal interviews-personal interviews include unstructured, open-ended questions.
Observation-Individual responses to surveys and focus groups are sometimes at od.
This study developed a survey instrument to segment physicians into groups based on their preferences and opinions regarding information technology. The survey was developed using qualitative research including interviews and focus groups. It presented physicians with statements about IT to rank order.
The findings identified six distinct preference profiles among physicians: 1) "Full-Range Adopters" who saw many benefits of IT, 2) "Skills-Concerned Adopters" who saw benefits but had skills concerns, 3) "Technology-Critical Adopters" who saw benefits but had strong concerns about privacy, monitoring and skills, 4) "Independently-Minded and Concerned" who emphasized independent research uses of IT but also had strong privacy and skills concerns
Behavioral science systematically studies behavior through controlled experiments and observations. It encompasses how organisms interact in nature. Unlike lay understanding, behavioral science uses scientific methods to understand and predict behavior objectively. The core disciplines are psychology, sociology, and anthropology. Psychology studies behavior through cause-and-effect, sociology examines social systems, and anthropology understands human-environment relationships. Common methods are experiments, observation, case studies, questionnaires, and interviews.

The document describes the Semantic Cognition in Language (SCiL) mobile application, which was developed to collect data on factors that may be related to dementia through questionnaires and cognitive tasks. It aims to study semantic memory and categorization abilities in older adults using priming and categorization exercises. The app was created using the ResearchKit framework and includes over 100 background and health questions. The researchers hope to identify variables that correlate with memory loss by analyzing the data from a large, diverse pool of participants.
This document provides an overview of quantitative research methods. It begins by defining quantitative research as objective and empirical, utilizing numerical data and analysis. It then describes key characteristics of quantitative research like clearly defined research questions, structured instruments, and large sample sizes. Strengths are listed as being objective, replicable, and allowing for statistical analysis, while weaknesses include high costs and potential inaccuracy. Different types of quantitative research are defined, including descriptive, correlational, experimental, and survey research. The document concludes by explaining key concepts in quantitative research like variables, and distinguishing between independent, dependent, intervening, and confounding variables.
Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) is a methodology that involves repeated assessments of participants in their natural environments over time to minimize retrospective recall bias. EMA collects data on behaviors, thoughts, and emotions as they occur to better characterize experiences. Traditional questionnaires are limited as psychological variables fluctuate and behavior is seldom observed as it unfolds. EMA uses signals, time-based prompts, and emerging technologies like mobile apps to measure within-person variability and micro-temporal relationships between variables of interest. EMA has been used in clinical studies of conditions like ADHD, ASD, mood disorders, and eating disorders to provide insights into symptom fluctuations and contexts.
Research Evaluation And Data Collection MethodsJessica Robles
The document discusses research evaluation and data collection methods used by Healthy People 2020, a US government program that sets national health objectives. It identifies measuring objectives, increasing public awareness of health determinants, providing measurable goals, engaging stakeholders, and identifying research methods as key missions. Healthy People 2020 aims to improve quality and length of life, achieve health equity, create health-promoting environments, and promote well-being across all life stages. One focus area is reducing the disease and economic burden of diabetes and improving quality of life for those with diabetes.
Observation can be defined as perceiving data through the senses and is used by researchers to gather empirical data. There are two main types of observation: direct observation where the observer directly sees or hears everything happening, and indirect observation where the observer analyzes past traces like recordings or documents. Observation methods include continuous monitoring to evaluate interactions, and spot sampling like time allocation and experience sampling to record activities at various times. Observation allows researchers to directly collect first-hand information but lacks control over variables and can be difficult to quantify data.

Graspan: A Big Data System for Big Code AnalysisAftab Hussain
We built a disk-based parallel graph system, Graspan, that uses a novel edge-pair centric computation model to compute dynamic transitive closures on very large program graphs.
We implement context-sensitive pointer/alias and dataflow analyses on Graspan. An evaluation of these analyses on large codebases such as Linux shows that their Graspan implementations scale to millions of lines of code and are much simpler than their original implementations.
These analyses were used to augment the existing checkers; these augmented checkers found 132 new NULL pointer bugs and 1308 unnecessary NULL tests in Linux 4.4.0-rc5, PostgreSQL 8.3.9, and Apache httpd 2.2.18.

3. In the world of research and psychology, the ability to gather real-time data has
revolutionized the way we understand human behavior and experiences. One
powerful method that has gained prominence in recent years is Ecological
Momentary Assessment (EMA). EMA allows researchers to collect data from
participants in their natural environments, providing invaluable insights into
behaviors, emotions, and experiences as they unfold in real time. In this blog,
we'll explore the concept of EMA, the applications and benefits of using
Ecological Momentary Assessment software, and why it's becoming increasingly
essential in various fields.
Understanding Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA)
Ecological Momentary Assessment, often referred to as EMA, is a research
method that involves collecting data from participants in real-world settings,
typically through the use of mobile devices like smartphones or tablets. EMA
enables researchers to capture moment-to-moment experiences and
behaviors as they occur in the participants' daily lives. This approach stands in
contrast to traditional survey or interview methods, which often rely on
participants' retrospective recall and may be subject to memory biases.
EMA involves the following key characteristics:
1.Real-Time Data Collection: EMA captures data as it happens, allowing researchers to gather
information about a participant's current experiences, emotions, and behaviors.
2.Repeated Sampling: EMA typically involves multiple assessments over time, ranging from
several times a day to over several weeks or months. This repeated sampling provides a
dynamic picture of changes and fluctuations.
4. 3.Mobile Technology: EMA is often conducted using mobile devices equipped with
specialized software or apps. Participants receive prompts or surveys on their
devices and respond immediately.
4.Ecological Validity: By collecting data in participants' natural environments, EMA
enhances ecological validity, ensuring that the findings are more representative of
real-life experiences.
Applications of EMA
EMA has found applications in a wide range of fields and research areas, including:
1.Psychology and Psychiatry: EMA is used to study mood disorders, substance use,
stress, and other psychological phenomena. It helps researchers understand the
triggers and patterns of these behaviors and emotions in daily life.
2.Health and Well-being: EMA is valuable in monitoring health-related behaviors,
such as diet, exercise, and medication adherence. It also aids in studying symptoms
and the impact of chronic illnesses on daily life.
3.Social Sciences: EMA is employed to examine social interactions, communication
patterns, and interpersonal dynamics. It provides insights into social behavior in real-
world contexts.
5. 4.Environmental Psychology: EMA helps researchers study how individuals interact with
their physical environments, including how environmental factors impact mood and
behavior.
5.Market Research: EMA is increasingly used in market research to understand consumer
behavior and decision-making in real-life settings.
Benefits of EMA
EMA offers several advantages that contribute to its growing popularity in research:
1.Enhanced Ecological Validity: EMA captures real-life experiences, reducing the risk of
recall bias and providing a more accurate representation of participants' behaviors and
emotions.
2.Temporal Precision: Researchers can pinpoint the exact timing of events, behaviors, or
emotions, allowing for the analysis of temporal patterns and triggers.
3.Reduced Memory Bias: Traditional survey methods rely on participants' recall, which
may be influenced by memory biases. EMA eliminates or reduces this bias by collecting
data in real time.
4.Rich Data: EMA provides a wealth of data that can be used to explore complex
relationships and dynamics. It allows for the examination of within-person variability and
individual differences.
6. 5.Interventions and Feedback: EMA can be integrated into interventions and feedback
systems, providing individuals with real-time information about their behaviors and
helping them make positive changes.
6.Immediate Insights: Researchers can access and analyze EMA data almost
immediately, allowing for timely adjustments to research protocols or interventions.
Challenges and Considerations
While EMA offers numerous benefits, it also presents challenges and considerations:
1.Participant Burden: Frequent data collection can be burdensome for participants,
leading to compliance issues. Researchers must strike a balance between data
richness and participant burden.
2.Technology Reliability: EMA relies on mobile technology, which can introduce
technical issues or data loss. Researchers need to ensure the reliability of data
collection tools.
3.Privacy and Ethical Concerns: Collecting real-time data raises privacy and ethical
concerns, particularly when sensitive topics are involved. Researchers must address
these issues and obtain informed consent.
4.Data Management: Managing and analyzing large volumes of real-time data can
be complex and time-consuming. Researchers need robust data management and
analysis strategies.
7. Conclusion:
Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) is a powerful method that has transformed the
landscape of data collection in various research fields. By capturing real-time experiences,
behaviors, and emotions, EMA enhances the ecological validity of research findings and
provides a deeper understanding of human behavior in natural settings. As technology
continues to advance, the applications of EMA are expected to expand further, offering
new insights into the complex dynamics of human life. Researchers and practitioners alike
can benefit from harnessing the potential of EMA to gain a more accurate and nuanced
understanding of the phenomena they study. Similarly, they can also leverage the benefits
of experience sampling app to understand the human behavior and the customer journey
patterns.
