self reported
Told by subject
Self-reported describes information provided directly by the person it concerns, rather than verified by external sources or objective measurement.
Medical studies rely on self-reported data about diet, exercise, or symptoms: Participants self-reported their alcohol consumption.
The term often carries an implicit caveat—self-reported information may be inaccurate due to faulty memory, embarrassment, or deliberate misrepresentation.
