本文比较了两种收集日常数据的方法：自我管理日记和电话访谈。研究参与者包括 44 名男性和 56 名女性，年龄在 16 岁至 35 岁之间，他们参与了一项关于饮酒、吸毒和性活动的更大规模研究。参与者被随机分配到书面日记或电话采访的条件；两种情况下问题的措辞和格式都是相同的。收集为期 8 周的每日数据。结果表明，虽然电话访谈导致数据收集的缺失天数稍多，但它们通常产生的项目级缺失数据较少，产生的数据更干净，因此处理成本较低，并且与自我管理日记一样容易被参与者接受。除了饮酒和蔬菜消费的报告外，电话和日记条件在报告的行为数量上没有差异；然而，通过电话采访报告了更多的饮料和蔬菜消费用品： 电话采访还造成了相当高的总体人员成本。
This article compares two methods of collecting daily data: self-administered diaries and telephone interviews. Study participants included 44 men and 56 women between the ages of 16 and 35 who participated in a larger study of drinking, drug use, and sexual activity. Participants were randomly assigned to either the written diary or the telephone interview conditions; question wording and format were identical in both conditions. Daily data were collected for a period of 8 weeks. Results indicate that although telephone interviews resulted in slightly more missed days of data collection, they generally yielded less item-level missing data, produced cleaner data and therefore were less costly to process, and were as palatable to participants as self-administered diaries. Except for reports of drinking and vegetable consumption telephone and diary conditions did not differ in the amount of behavior reported; more drinking and vegetable consumption ware reported with telephone interviews, however: Telephone interviews also imposed considerably higher overall personnel costs.
