This is a daily diary approach because the participants are asked to complete questionnaires every day for 14 days. It is not experimental because there is no manipulation or control group, and it is not cross-sectional because it is not comparing different age groups or cohorts. Experience sampling is similar to daily diary approach, but specifically involves participants reporting on their experiences at random intervals throughout the day, rather than at set times like in this study.
