Abstract

A computationally implemented method includes, but is not limited to acquiring subjective user state data including data indicating incidence of at least a first subjective user state associated with a first user and data indicating incidence of at least a second subjective user state associated with a second user; acquiring objective occurrence data including data indicating incidence of at least a first objective occurrence and data indicating incidence of at least a second objective occurrence; and correlating the subjective user state data with the objective occurrence data. In addition to the foregoing, other method aspects are described in the claims, drawings, and text forming a part of the present disclosure.
