Whether a strategy is effective is determined in an idiosyncratic approach. An ER strategy was considered effective for a participant, when across all EMA situations, the correlation between using this strategy and effectiveness (that is, the sum of increasing positive affect, decreasing negative affect and facilitating problem solving) was positive and at least small in size (that is, r > 0.10 (ref. 57)).
