Our objectives were to measure reporting differences between sexual behavior data from daily diary and retrospective estimates and to assess the utility of using smartphones to collect sexual behavior data from a college student population.
Eighty-six participants (68 women, 18 men) completed the study.
For 30 days during the Spring 2017 semester, participants received prompts to participate in daily diaries about their previous day's sexual behavior on their smartphones. Participants then retrospectively reported their past 30 days of sexual behavior and provided feedback on the process of receiving daily diaries on their smartphones.
We found that college students overreported their sexual behavior on the retrospective survey compared to their daily diary reports (ps < .001; Cohen's ds ≥ 1.51). Participants provided positive and constructive feedback.
Using smartphones to administer daily diaries is a promising technique for obtaining reliable sexual behavior data from college students.
我们的目标是衡量日常日记中的性行为数据与回顾性估计之间的报告差异，并评估使用智能手机从大学生群体中收集性行为数据的效用。
86名参与者（68名女性，18名男性）完成了该研究。
在2017年春季学期的30天里，参与者收到提示，通过智能手机参与关于前一天性行为的日常日记记录。然后，参与者回顾性报告过去30天的性行为，并对通过智能手机接收日常日记的过程提供反馈。
我们发现，与日常日记报告相比，大学生在回顾性调查中高估了他们的性行为（p值<0.001；科恩d值≥1.51）。参与者提供了积极且有建设性的反馈。
使用智能手机管理日常日记是一种从大学生中获取可靠性行为数据的有前景的技术。
