Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) often places high physical and mental burden on research participants compared with retrospective self-reports. The high burden could result in noncompliance with the EMA sampling scheme protocol. It has been a concern that certain types of participants could be more likely to have low compliance, such as those who have severe hearing loss and poor speech recognition performance, are employed, are not familiar with technologies used to implement EMA (e.g., smartphones), and have poorer cognitive abilities. Noncompliance dependent on personal characteristics could negatively impact the generalizability of EMA research.
