A global experience‐sampling method study of well‐being during times of crisis: The CoCo project
Abstract
We present a global experience-sampling method (ESM) study aimed at describing, predicting, and understanding individual differences in well-being during times of crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic. This international ESM study is a collaborative effort of over 60 interdisciplinary researchers from around the world in the “Coping with Corona” (CoCo) project. The study comprises trait-, state-, and daily-level data of 7490 participants from over 20 coun- tries (total ESM measurements = 207,263; total daily meas- urements = 73,295) collected between October 2021 and August 2022. We provide a brief overview of the theoret- ical background and aims of the study, present the applied methods (including a description of the study design, data collection procedures, data cleaning, and final sample), and discuss exemplary research questions to which these data can be applied. We end by inviting collaborations on the CoCo dataset.
