…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. 2/8

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” 1/8
