Measuring Behaviors o/Interest in HD Research (Method: Strength, Weakness)
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Systematic Observation: Naturalistic observation | Captures people's behavior in its natural setting; Difficult to use with behaviors that are rare or that typically occur in private settings |
Systematic Observation: Structured observation | Can be sued to study behaviors that are rare or that typically occur in private settings; May be invalid of structured setting distorts the behavior |
Sampling behavior with tasks | Convenient- can be used to study most behaviors; May be invalid of the task does not sample behavior as it occurs naturally |
Self-reports | Convenient- can be used to study most behaviors; May be invalid because people answer incorrectly (due to either forgetting or response bias) |
Physiological measures | Provide a more direct measure of underlying behavior; Highly specific in what they measure and thus cannot be applied broadly |
