'''Ambulatory assessment''' is a research tool that can be defined as the use of the computer-assisted methodology for self-reports, behavior records or psychological measurements, while the subject undergoes normal activities.<ref name=":0">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref> It is a broad term that refers to the data that is collected in the naturalistic settings.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref> In the early Ambulatory assessment, personal digital assistants and interactive voice response systems were used. They have now been replaced by smartphones, and this has made the data collection more feasible.<ref name=":1">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>
== Characteristics ==
# The recording takes place in real-life situations
# A computer-assisted methodology is widely used
# The evaluator attempts to minimise the method dependent reactivity and strives to achieve a high degree of ecological balance<ref name=":0" />
# The assessment can be continuous, event-based, interactive, time-based, or randomly prompted
# It is idiographic in focus and allows for the examination of multiple individual processes<ref name=":1" />
The Ambulatory assessment can be applied in various areas of psychology and other behavioral sciences,
== Modes of Data Collection ==
===== Event Controlled/Self-Report =====
The subject self monitors the happenings of events and assess them whenever it occurs.<ref name=":0" /> Varieties of devices are used to collect the data from the self reports.
The main concern with the self report assessment is whether biases may influence the credibility of the results.<ref name=":1" />
===== Time Controlled/Observational =====
In this mode, the subject follows the time-sampling schedule.<ref name=":0" /> This mode provides the data through the observer's point of view. Forms of Ambulatory assessment observational method are Electronically Activated Recorder (EAR), Global Positioning System (GPS) in phones or devices on the person.light sensors to infer context, using video or sensors to detect interactions with others.<ref name=":1" />
