Abstract

BACKGROUND

Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) enables individuals to self-report their subjective momentary physical and emotional states. However, certain conditions, including routine observable behaviors (eg, moods, medication adherence) as well as behaviors that may suggest declines in physical or mental health (eg, memory losses, compulsive disorders) cannot be easily and reliably measured via self-reports.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to examine a method complementary to EMA, denoted as peer-ceived momentary assessment (PeerMA), which enables the involvement of peers (eg, family members, friends) to report their perception of the individual's subjective physical and emotional states. In this paper, we aim to report the feasibility results and identified human factors influencing the acceptance and reliability of the PeerMA.

METHODS

We conducted two studies of 4 weeks each, collecting self-reports from 20 participants about their stress, fatigue, anxiety, and well-being, in addition to collecting peer-reported perceptions from 27 of their peers.

RESULTS

Preliminary results showed that some of the peers reported daily assessments for stress, fatigue, anxiety, and well-being statistically equal to those reported by the participant. We also showed how pairing assessments of participants and peers in time enables a qualitative and quantitative exploration of unique research questions not possible with EMA-only based assessments. We reported on the usability and implementation aspects based on the participants' experience to guide the use of the PeerMA to complement the information obtained via self-reports for observable behaviors and physical and emotional states among healthy individuals.

CONCLUSIONS

It is possible to leverage the PeerMA method as a complement to EMA to assess constructs that fall in the realm of observable behaviors and states in healthy individuals.

摘要

背景

生态瞬时评估（EMA）使个体能够自我报告其主观的即时身体和情绪状态。然而，某些情况，包括常规可观察行为（例如情绪、药物依从性）以及可能表明身体或心理健康下降的行为（例如记忆丧失、强迫障碍），无法通过自我报告轻松且可靠地测量。

目的

本研究旨在检验一种补充 EMA 的方法，称为同伴感知瞬时评估（PeerMA），它使同伴（例如家庭成员、朋友）能够报告他们对个体主观身体和情绪状态的感知。在本文中，我们旨在报告可行性结果和确定影响同伴感知瞬时评估接受度和可靠性的人为因素。

方法

我们进行了两项为期四周的研究，其中 20 名参与者自我报告压力、疲劳、焦虑和幸福感，此外，还收集了 27 名参与者的同伴报告感知。

结果

初步结果表明，一些同伴报告的压力、疲劳、焦虑和幸福感的日常评估在统计上与参与者报告的评估相等。我们还展示了如何将参与者和同伴的评估在时间上进行配对，从而能够对仅通过 EMA 评估无法进行的独特研究问题进行定性和定量探索。我们根据参与者的经验报告了可用性和实施方面的内容，以指导同伴感知瞬时评估的使用，从而补充健康个体中可观察行为和身体及情绪状态的自我报告信息。
