Dr. Barley is a developmental psychologist who conducts studies that track adolescents' emotions over time using the Experience Sampling Method (ESM). What are likely some of his findings comparing the emotional experiences of adolescents to younger children?
What will be an ideal response?
The Experience Sampling Method (ESM) has been used in these "beeper studies" to check in with adolescents on their emotions at various times during their day. Adolescents fill out questionnaires about their emotional experiences at the time they are beeped rather than try to remember how they felt in the past (reducing retrospective bias). Overall, adolescents are less happy than their younger counterparts.
