A 10-day experience sampling dataset on subjective experiences of middle and upper secondary school students in 2022

This data note presents a dataset collected within a 10-day experience sampling survey study among middle and upper secondary students in Finland during autumn 2022. The dataset encompasses a brief start-up survey in addition to 40 momentary assessments, allowing for the analysis of both inter- and intraindividual processes. The start-up survey includes validated measures on students’ perceptions of school-related support from family, peers, and teachers, general self-efficacy, and academic self-efficacy, as well as items on school enjoyment, and school absenteeism. The experience sampling data includes items related to positive and negative emotions, lecture characteristics, perceived teacher style, peer relationships, as well as sleep quality, breakfast, school readiness, and school day satisfaction. Data were collected using the “RealLife Exp” mobile app. Multiple procedures were undertaken to validate and confirm the reliability of the dataset, as presented in this data note. The methodological approach utilized for gathering the data featured in this dataset allows for a nuanced analysis of individual and contextual influences along with lagged effects on school well-being, with the potential to discover previously overlooked patterns and trends.
