A fast-growing body of evidence from experience sampling studies suggests that affect
dynamics are associated with well-being and health. But heterogeneity in experience
sampling approaches impedes reproducibility and scientific progress. Leveraging a large
dataset of 7016 individuals, each providing over 50 affect reports, we introduce an
empirically derived framework to help researchers design well-powered and efficient
experience sampling studies. Our research reveals three general principles. First, a sample …
