To sample situations that are psychologically arousing in daily life, we implemented an experience sampling strategy in which 82 Dutch young adults (M_age = 20.73) were triggered based on random time intervals and based on physiological skin conductance scores across a period of 5 days. When triggered, participants had to fill in short surveys on affect, situational characteristics and event characteristics on their smartphone. We found theoretically expected relationships between the skin conductance signal on the one hand and self‐reported arousal and positive energy (e.g. energetic and enthusiastic) on the other hand, although effect sizes were small. Unexpectedly, none of the negative affective scales (i.e. irritation, anxiety, and negative valence) were predicted by skin conductance levels. Despite the (partial) validity of the signal, a simple algorithm that triggered the survey based on relative increases of skin conductance levels produced counterintuitive results due to a dependence between level and slope. Additional exploratory analyses highlighted other skin conductance signal characteristics (i.e. autocorrelation, number of peaks, and change points) that might be worth examining when designing future algorithms to sample arousing moments. Overall, our experiences highlight not only the promise but also the complexity of real‐time measurement of physiological processes in daily life. © 2020 The Authors.

重要的时刻？使用基于皮肤电导的触发器在体验采样框架内采样唤醒事件的复杂性

到在日常生活中心理上唤起样本的情况下，我们实现了一个经验抽样策略，其中82名荷兰青少年（中号_年龄 = 20.73）是根据随机时间间隔和5天的生理皮肤电导评分触发的。触发后，参与者必须在智能手机上填写有关情感，情境特征和事件特征的简短调查。我们发现，一方面理论上皮肤电导信号与自我报告的唤醒和正能量（例如精力充沛和热情高涨）之间存在理论上的预期关系，尽管效果的影响很小。出乎意料的是，皮肤电导水平不能预测任何负面的情感量表（即刺激，焦虑和负价）。尽管信号具有（部分）有效性，一种基于皮肤电导水平相对增加触发调查的简单算法，由于水平和斜率之间的相关性而产生了违反直觉的结果。额外的探索性分析强调了其他皮肤电导信号特征（即自相关，峰值数量和变化点），在设计将来的算法来采样刺激时刻时可能值得研究。总体而言，我们的经验不仅强调了希望，而且强调了日常生活中生理过程实时测量的复杂性。©2020作者。John Wiley＆Sons Ltd代表欧洲人格心理学协会出版的《欧洲人格杂志》在设计将来的算法以采样起振时刻时可能值得研究的峰数和变化点）。总体而言，我们的经验不仅强调了希望，而且强调了日常生活中生理过程实时测量的复杂性。©2020作者。John Wiley＆Sons Ltd代表欧洲人格心理学协会出版的《欧洲人格杂志》在设计将来的算法以采样起振时刻时可能值得研究的峰数和变化点）。总体而言，我们的经验不仅强调了希望，而且强调了日常生活中生理过程实时测量的复杂性。©2020作者。John Wiley＆Sons Ltd代表欧洲人格心理学协会出版的《欧洲人格杂志》
