Document Summary

Self-report data (s) two forms: structured (responses are set, forced choice, likert ratings) and unstructured (responses are not set, open ended questions) ex: dichotomous response schemes. I can be hard on myself (true or false) If i do well on the exam, i think that i am: a smart person (internal) the course is easy (external) likert ratings -> i like being the life of the party (1-7) A: standardization and use of stats (t test) D: limits in responses and possible limited accuracy. D: many not be standardized, use of routine stats might be limited. Not having self-knowledge or objectivity to respond. Criticism because how you respond on one day may change on another (over time) Other s data approaches: event data -> also known as (ecological momentary assessment): self-report that occurs over time to asses variables that might change in real time. ex: nock et al. , 2009.
