Type: article
Abstract: Ambulatory assessment brings together a set of methods that make it possible to evaluate, through mobile devices, and at multiple moments in time, \nthe behavior of people in their natural environment and daily context. It allows a more precise, dynamic, contextual, and ideographic evaluation \nthan the classical approaches, opening new horizons with clear implications for psychological intervention. The main goal of this paper is to provide \nan introduction to ambulatory assessment. First, a conceptual delimitation is made and the issues to be solved are discussed, as well as their possible \nbenefits. Second, aspects related to the methodology are exposed, addressing the designs, data types, and a general evaluation protocol. Third, \nsome of the main limitations are discussed, and the most relevant applications are presented. Finally, some recommendations for the application of \nthis type of methodology are discussed, and some challenges and future perspectives are analyzed.
