经验取样法在生命意义感研究中的应用

The Application of Experience Sampling Method in the Study of Meaning in Life

摘要: 生命意义感作为预测个体心理健康与主观福祉的核心变量，其动态性与情境依赖性受限于传统特质测量方法。经验取样法(Experience Sampling Method, ESM)凭借自然情境下实时、高频的数据采集优势，有效规避回忆偏差，显著提升了研究的生态效度。文章系统梳理ESM在生命意义感研究中的应用现状，从技术平台升级、统计方法成熟总结研究进展，并提出未来展望。运用经验取样法研究生命意义感，为揭示意义感的动态机制与开发精准干预方案提供了关键方法论支撑。

Abstract: As a core variable in predicting individual mental health and subjective well-being, the sense of meaning in life is constrained by the static and context-independent nature of traditional trait measurement methods. The Experience Sampling Method (ESM), with its advantages of real-time and high-frequency data collection in natural settings, effectively mitigates recall bias and significantly enhances the ecological validity of research. This paper systematically reviews the current applications of ESM in the study of meaning in life, summarizes research progress from the perspectives of technological platform upgrades and statistical method maturation, and proposes future directions. Utilizing ESM to study the sense of meaning provides critical methodological support for uncovering the dynamic mechanisms of meaning and developing precise intervention strategies.
