Day Highlight
A user's deliberate act of marking a positive moment from the day, often with AI support, to consolidate it emotionally. Distinguished from passive recall by the explicit selection and recording of the moment.
Operational Definition
EVENT. One occurrence would be coded when the user explicitly designates a specific positive moment of the day for recording or reflection (e.g. naming it as 'the highlight'), producing a recorded or stated entry. The designation entry is the unit counted; one per reviewed period unless distinct moments are named.
Measurement Schema
Proposed measurement protocol (not yet empirically validated): Structured daily-review log: users record a single named positive highlight per session; completion is tracked as adherence (entries / eligible days), and entry quality (specific event vs vague) is rated by two coders with Cohen's kappa. Could be reported as adherence rate and specific-entry proportion.
