  • Summary

    This chapter provides an introduction to the use of mobile sensing in social and personality psychology. It first looks at mobile sensing’s historical roots and discusses how, in the field, the method follows in the footsteps of other traditional approaches to the collection of behavioral data. It then covers research questions of the kind that mobile sensing lends itself to, and provides a high-level summary of the current literature on mobile sensing. In the third section, the chapter illustrates the very basic how-to of mobile sensing with respect to technical rationale, implementation in studies, and coverage of variables. The fourth and final section is a psychometric reflection on where mobile sensing currently stands and where it is or should be going. To this end, five predictions are evaluated that were made for mobile sensing research when it first emerged in the psychological research landscape about a decade ago.
