    Advances in Emotion-Regulation Choice from Experience Sampling.
    (Trends in cognitive sciences, 2020-05) Burr, Daisy A; Samanez-Larkin, Gregory R
    Recent experience-sampling studies by Blanke et al. and Grommisch et al. provide insights into how individuals regulate their emotions in daily life. The rich datasets accessible from experience sampling allow researchers to detect nuances in the relationship between emotion-regulation choice and psychological health that may not be observed in traditional laboratory studies.

    How Is the Caregiver Doing? Capturing Caregivers' Experiences With a Reflective Toolkit.
    (JMIR mental health, 2019-05-28) Bosch, L; Kanis, M; Dunn, J; Stewart, Kearsley; Krose, B
    BACKGROUND:This paper describes the Co-Care-KIT, a reflective toolkit designed to provide insights into the diverse experiences of home-based informal caregivers during the delivery of care to a relative or loved one. OBJECTIVE:The aim of this study was to evaluate the toolkit, including a custom-designed journal, tools for photography-based experience sampling, and heart rate tracking, which enables caregivers to collect and reflect on their positive and negative daily experiences in situ. METHODS:A 2-week field study with informal caregivers (N=7) was conducted to evaluate the Co-Care-KIT and to capture their daily personal emotional experiences. The collected data samples were analyzed and used for collaborative dialogue between the researcher and caregiver. RESULTS:The results suggest that the toolkit (1) increased caregivers' awareness of their own well-being through in situ reflection on their experiences; (2) empowered caregivers to share their identities and experiences as a caregiver within their social networks; (3) enabled the capturing of particularly positive experiences; and (4) provided caregivers reassurance with regards to their own mental health. CONCLUSION:By enabling capturing and collaborative reflection, the kit helped to gain a new understanding of caregivers' day-to-day needs and emotional experiences.
