…and I am so
excited to collect data using a more integrated approach in my PhD at UC Riverside where I intend to explore how people naturally appraise and label their emotions!
8/8
Whether a fully nomothetic, fully idiographic, or combination approach to measuring momentary emotions is best for you will depend on your research aims…
7/8
These approaches could be helpful for a) person-specific interventions and b) culturally sensitive measurement of daily experiences
6/8
Integrating idiographic measurement of emotions into common nomothetic measures in daily life allows us to discover generalizable patterns in emotion experience as well as nuanced deviations from these patterns.
5/8
We argue that combining these nomothetic and idiographic approaches (see example) provides the best of both worlds: asking about widely studied emotions, while allowing people to further describe their emotions in their own words
4/8
Recently, some researchers have applied fully idiographic measurement approaches to emotions, by having participants describe their emotional experiences through open responses.
3/8
Most measures of momentary emotions are nomothetic and assume that the same emotions are relevant for all people.

I am so excited to share my first first-author publication “Generalizing Across People or Capturing Unique Personal Experiences? Nomothetic to Idiographic Ways of Assessing Self-Reported Emotions in Daily Life”
