Research on fine-grained dynamic psychological processes has increasingly come to rely on continuous self-report measures. Recent studies have extended continuous self-report methods to simultaneously collecting ratings on two dimensions of an experience. For all the variety of approaches, several limitations are inherent to most of them. First, current methods are primarily suited for bipolar, as opposed to unipolar, constructs. Second, respondents report on two dimensions using one hand, which may produce method driven error, including spurious relationships between the two dimensions. Third, two-dimensional reports have primarily been validated for consistency between reporters, rather than the predictive validity of idiosyncratic responses. In a series of tasks, the study reported here addressed these limitations by comparing a previously used method to a newly developed two-handed method, and by explicitly testing the validity of continuous two-dimensional responses. Results show that our new method is easier to use, faster, more accurate, with reduced method-driven dependence between the two dimensions, and preferred by participants. The validity of two-dimensional responding was also demonstrated in comparison to one-dimensional reporting, and in relation to post hoc ratings. Together, these findings suggest that our two-handed method for two-dimensional continuous ratings is a powerful and reliable tool for future research.

对细粒度动态心理过程的研究越来越依赖于持续的自我报告措施。最近的研究将连续自我报告方法扩展到同时收集体验的两个维度的评级。对于所有各种方法，它们中的大多数都固有一些限制。首先，目前的方法主要适用于双极结构，而不是单极结构。其次，受访者用一只手报告两个维度，这可能会产生方法驱动的错误，包括两个维度之间的虚假关系。第三，二维报告主要验证了报告者之间的一致性，而不是特殊反应的预测有效性。在一系列任务中，这里报告的研究通过将以前使用的方法与新开发的双手方法进行比较，并通过明确测试连续二维响应的有效性来解决这些限制。结果表明，我们的新方法更易于使用、更快、更准确，减少了两个维度之间的方法驱动依赖性，并受到参与者的青睐。与一维报告相比，以及与事后评级相关，二维响应的有效性也得到了证明。总之，这些发现表明，我们用于二维连续评级的双手方法是未来研究的强大而可靠的工具。更快，更准确，减少两个维度之间的方法驱动依赖性，并受到参与者的青睐。与一维报告相比，以及与事后评级相关，二维响应的有效性也得到了证明。总之，这些发现表明，我们用于二维连续评级的双手方法是未来研究的强大而可靠的工具。更快，更准确，减少两个维度之间的方法驱动依赖性，并受到参与者的青睐。与一维报告相比，以及与事后评级相关，二维响应的有效性也得到了证明。总之，这些发现表明，我们用于二维连续评级的双手方法是未来研究的强大而可靠的工具。
