DESCRIPTION:Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) allows the study of peop
 le’s behaviour while they go about their everyday lives. \nA more reliab
 le and complete picture of a phenomenon can be obtained when this method i
 s used in combination with other traditional methods. \n\nParental discipl
 ine practices (DP) are good targets for EMA. Challenging behaviours which 
 provoke parental DP are very frequent in childhood and often occur in an a
 tmosphere charged  with emotion. Questionnaires and laboratory observation
 s may not fully capture those small-scale DP. Moreover\, the dynamic feeli
 ngs and thoughts that accompany DP are likely to be better assessed as soo
 n as possible given their rapidly changing nature.\n\nThis presentation il
 lustrates the use of EMA in the assessment of parental DP of a nonclinical
  sample of mothers’ of toddlers\, focusing on its feasibility\, reliabil
 ity and validity of the data obtained. The talk will also address the oppo
 rtunities and some of the challenges in the application of EMA in the asse
 ssment of parental DP.\n
