Exploring emotions beyond the laboratory: A review of emotional and physiological ecological momentary assessment methods in children and youth.

ABSTRACT: Recent advancements in methodologies such as ecological momentary assessment (EMA) and ambulatory physiology devices have enhanced our ability to measure emotions experienced in daily life. Despite the feasibility of EMA for assessing children's and youth's emotional self-reports, the feasibility of combining it with physiological measurements in a real-life context has yet to be established.
