The method described is called Experience Sampling Method (ESM) which involves randomly beeping participants throughout the day to report their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors at that specific moment in time. This form of data collection allows researchers to collect real-time data and is often used in the study of mood disorders and daily experiences. Longitudinal studies involve following participants over an extended period, quasi-experiments involve manipulating an independent variable but lack random assignment, and naturalistic observation involves observing behavior in its natural setting without manipulation.
