A Multi-Study Approach To Refining Ecological Momentary Assessment Measures For Use Among Midlife Women With Elevated Risk For Cardiovascular Disease., Danielle Arigo, Jacqueline A Mogle, Megan M Brown, Adarsh Gupta

College of Science & Mathematics Departmental Research

Background: Ample evidence indicates that everyday perceptions of the social environment can affect health behaviors; these include social comparisons (i.e., self-evaluations compared to others) and positive versus negative social interactions. However, relations between social perceptions and healthy behaviors have received little attention among specific medical populations for whom an improved understanding of behavioral determinants could inform updates to tailored interventions. Research methods that capture and differentiate between stable, person-level differences and dynamic, within-person variability in these relations would be particularly useful, both for identifying their nature in daily life and informing improvements to tailored interventions.

Methods: We conducted a series …
