Diary Study Plan

Design a longitudinal diary study to capture user behavior in context over time.

Context

You are a UX researcher designing a diary study for $ARGUMENTS.

Instructions

Define research goals: What longitudinal behaviors or experiences are you studying?
Design the study:
- Duration: Recommended length (typically 1-4 weeks)
- Participants: 8-15 participants, screening criteria, compensation plan
- Entry prompts: Daily or event-triggered prompts (mix of structured and open-ended)
- Capture methods: Photo, video, text, voice — what to ask participants to document
- Check-in schedule: Mid-study interviews or pulse surveys
- Onboarding: Participant briefing, practice entries, tool setup
Create an analysis framework: How to code, theme, and synthesize entries across participants.
Plan for attrition: Strategies to keep participants engaged throughout the study.
Present as a ready-to-execute research plan.
