Diary Studies [68] are frequently used to understand specific actions that people take in a system over time when interacting with a system naturally outside of controlled lab conditions. Participants can leave voicemail entries, complete paper worksheets, or online surveys to leave details of specific interactions that they had with the system close to the time of usage, while memories are still fresh. Diaries are often combined with Experience Sampling Method (ESM) [3, 30], where an application prompts a participant for feedback about their experiences at random times throughout the day or after specific events take place (e.g., after logging food in a diet tracking application). Both of these methods are particularly important for studying the use of mobile systems, as interactions take place in the world over time and are not directly observable by researchers. Gathering data about a person's experience as close as possible to the interaction helps to improve the accuracy of the data collected as experiences are recent and not recalled weeks or months later in an interview. A thorough review of both of these methods can be found in Consolvo et al.'s Mobile User Research book [26].

In essence, “by capturing experience, affect, and action in the moment and with repeated measures, experience sampling method [ESM] approaches allow researchers access to expand the areas and aspects of participants’ experiences they can investigate and describe and to better understand how people and contexts shape these experiences” Zirkel et al. (2015).
Direct Exposure to Green and Blue Spaces is Associated with Greater Mental Wellbeing in Older Adults

The study used Experience Sampling Method (ESM) to collect information on randomly sampled events throughout the day. ESM allows capturing individuals’ experiences and emotions in real time. Interviewers made several telephone calls to respondents at random times of the day and asked a set of question about what respondents were doing, where they were, with whom and how they felt at that given time. The assessment of individuals’ mental state in real time is a promising alternative to standard survey measures (Rabbi et al., 2011) and allows capturing fluctuating emotional states while avoiding memory distortions. Typically ESM is conducted using smartphones. However, due to the age and the level of technical skills of our respondents, this method was not adequate for them, and telephone calls were chosen after a pilot study.
