Arthur A. Stone developed a methodology for assessing daily life events and psychological reactions. The data was collected via diary recordings from a sample of husbands, who reported their own experiences, while their wives completed forms as observers. The instrument was pilot-tested for two weeks and revised based on participant feedback and additional studies involving phone calls.
