Definition
'The Experience Sampling Method (ESM) is a self-recording method and originally "was used to refer to a particular technique involving random signaling of participants during their daily lives, although today ESM is sometimes used more broadly to refer to any procedure that has three qualities - assessment of experiences in natural settings, in real-time (or close to the occurrence of the experience being reported), and on repeated time occasions."
"experience sampling" in a general sense, i.e. as a set of techniques to capture people's behaviors, thoughts, or feelings as they occur in real-time. This would include "naïve" accounts of critical events but also more "processed" representations if the sampling is interval-based.
