Over the past three decades, researchers have examined the sensitivity and accuracy of discontinuous data-collection methods. Momentary-time sampling (MTS) and partial-interval recording (PIR) have received particular attention in regards to their ability to estimate the occurrence of behavior and their sensitivity to behavior change compared to continuous data collection. In this article, we summarize these findings and provide recommendations for designing a discontinuous measurement system with consideration of the dimensions of behavior to be measured and the expected direction of behavior change.
在过去三十年中,研究人员考察了间断数据收集方法的敏感性和准确性。与连续数据收集相比,瞬间时间抽样(MTS)和部分间隔记录(PIR)在估计行为发生情况的能力以及对行为变化的敏感性方面受到了特别关注。在本文中,我们总结了这些发现,并针对设计间断测量系统提出建议,同时考虑到要测量的行为维度以及行为变化的预期方向。
