Capturing Context: Multiple Pathways to Understanding Daily Mental Health Dynamics

Saturday, May 30, 2026 · Barcelona, Spain

Oral · Mental Health in Focus: Symptoms, Support & Intervention

This symposium presents empirical work that uses ecological momentary assessment in combination with contextual, linguistic, and passive-sensing data. Across studies, speakers examine momentary impulsivity, daily identity-related experiences, personalized affect detection, and high-risk clinical dynamics. Together, these methods demonstrate multimodal tools for advancing research on daily mental health processes.
