This article discusses the concept of "experience" in experience sampling. A central challenge of clinical science is understanding psychopathological constructs and their manifestations. In conventional definitions and measures of psychopathology, subjective experience of mental disorder is often lost. The authors argue for an integration of phenomenology-or prioritization of subjectivity-in psychopathological construct definition and measurement, particularly through experience sampling methods (ESMs). ESMs capture idiographic, contextual, and longitudinal elements of lived experience that can expand our current conceptualizations and classifications of psychopathology. The authors propose three novel applications and extensions: (a) leveraging ESM for subjective construct definition (i.e., phenomena detection), (b) mixed-methods approaches, like cognitive interviewing, to improve the validity of ESM measures and (c) incorporation of novel ESM approaches (e.g., audiovisual data capturing) to expand understanding of subjective, daily experience of psychopathology. Merging phenomenological tradition with ESM serves to expand our understanding of psychopathology and bring "experience" back into experience sampling.

本文讨论了经验取样中的“经验”概念。临床科学的一个核心挑战是理解心理病理学结构及其表现形式。在传统的心理病理学定义和测量中，精神障碍的主观体验常常被忽视。作者主张在心理病理学结构的定义和测量中整合现象学——或优先考虑主观性——特别是通过经验取样方法（ESM）。ESM捕捉生活经验的独特、情境和纵向元素，这些元素可以扩展我们目前对心理病理学的概念化和分类。作者提出了三种新颖的应用和扩展：（a）利用ESM进行主观结构定义（即现象检测），（b）采用混合方法，如认知访谈，以提高ESM测量的有效性，以及（c）纳入新颖的ESM方法（如视听数据捕捉），以扩展对心理病理学主观日常体验的理解。将现象学传统与ESM相结合有助于扩展我们对心理病理学的理解，并将“经验”带回经验取样中。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2025美国心理学会，保留所有权利）
