We provide a framework aimed at helping with reporting one's understanding of social media in a research paper/project and links the understanding to measuring "social media use" and to the generalizability of one's work.

Thanks and lots of relief that it is at least submitted

We got funding for this project in 2022 (Thanks to @ascor.bsky.social's digicomlab) so it took quite some time to finally get the preprint ready. Hope this is a step towards better measurement in Experience Sampling Methods. Looking forward to thoughts & suggestions!

We argue that we need specific validation steps tailored to the context of experience sampling studies: If we want to test within-person processes, we need to test whether measures are able to capture meaningful within-person changes
