Momentary Assessment

Objectives: 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS) is a genetic condition associated with a markedly increased risk for psychosis. Psychotic experiences (PE) are classically evaluated by clinical interviews that give little information about the fluctuation of these symptoms in daily-life. Therefore, the current study aims to investigate these phenomena using the Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA), a structured diary technique that collects real-life measures in the everyday-life context, and to examine how these manifestations relate to a goal standard semi-structured assessment of PE. Method: Eighty-six adolescents and young adults with 22q11DS as well as healthy controls (HC) aged 12-27 were recruited. All participants completed a 6-day ESM protocol assessing momentary psychotic experiences as well as their current mood (measured by positive and negative affects). The presence of (attenuated) psychotic symptoms was assessed in the 22q11DS group with a clinical interview (SIPS).Results: Our main findings indicate that participants with 22q11DS reported more intense and more frequent momentary PE than HC and similar associations between affects (both PA and NA) and momentary PE. In participants with 22q11DS, more intense and more frequent momentary PE measured by EMA were associated with the severity of SIPS positive symptoms. Finally, participants with 22q11DS reporting at least attenuated positive symptoms of psychosis on the SIPS had more frequent and more intense momentary PE than participants with 22q11DS without psychotic symptoms.Conclusions: Altogether, this study highlights the validity of EMA to assess PE and broadens previous findings about mood and PE associations.

Momentary Assessment

Most assessments of well-being have relied on retrospective accounts, measured by global evaluative well-being scales. Following the recent debates focused on the assessment of hedonic and eudaimonic well-being based on the elements of the PERMA theory, the current study aimed to shed further light onto the measurement of PERMA elements in daily life and their temporal dynamics. Through an Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) design (N=160), we examined the dynamics of change (e.g., baselines and intra-individual variability) in the PERMA elements using the mPERMA measure, which is an EMA-adapted version of the PERMA Profiler. Findings revealed that momentary experiences of well-being, quantified via PERMA elements, map onto their corresponding hedonic or eudaimonic well-being components, and its dynamical features provide novel insights into predicting global well-being. This work offers avenues for future research to assess well-being in real-time and real-world contexts in ecologically valid ways, while eliminating recall bias.

Widespread Interest

Despite widespread interest in variance in affect, basic questions remain pertaining to the relative proportions of between-person and within-person variance, the contribution of days and moments, and the reliability of these estimates. We addressed these questions by decomposing negative affect and positive affect variance across three levels (person, day, moment), and calculating reliability using a coordinated analysis of seven daily diary, ecological momentary assessment (EMA), and diary-EMA hybrid studies (across studies age = 18-84 years, total Npersons = 2,103, total Nobservations = 45,065). Across studies, within-person variance was sizeable (negative affect: 45% to 66%, positive affect: 25% to 74%); in EMA more within-person variance was attributable to momentary rather than daily level. Reliability was adequate to high at all levels of analysis (within-person: .73-.91; between-person: .96-1.00) despite different items and designs. We discuss the implications of these results for the design of future intensive studies of affect variance.
