Contains the preprocessed example data for an m-path research study.

In the study, 20 participants completed 11 beeps over the course of 10 days. The study consisted of:

  • An intake questionnaire, that participants answered at the study's start.

  • A main questionnaire (10 times per day), where participants answered questions about their emotions and context at the time.

  • An evening questionnaire (once, at the end of the day), about their emotions and activities throughout the day.

Each row corresponds to one beep sent during the study.
