A

momentary time sampling

25
Q

a discontinuous (indirect) response measure which measure the percentage of individuals that were engaged in a target response at the end of an interval of time

A

PLACHECK (Planned Activity Check)

26
Q

considerations in selecting response measures

A
  • which dimensions are you interested in?
