Thoughts in time data

Description

This data set consists primarily of five overall thought rating and state measures gathered at each contact in a three-day experience sampling study on “thoughts in time”, Study 1 of Baumeister et al. (2020). These five measures are based on questions asked at the end of each contact, whose precise wording is given below. In the original data, the five variables were 7-point scales from 0 to 6 (or -3 to +3, for pleasant). They have been recoded to range from 1 to 7.

Format

A data frame with 6685 rows and the following variables:

Subject: Participant ID
