Question 15

Dr. M. developed a study examining verbal arguments in coffee houses. His research protocol and coding systems specified that trained observers were only supposed to observe patrons for a specific period. The trained observers were supposed to observe whether a verbal argument did or did not occur for 15 minutes and then not observe for 10 minutes and then observe again for 15 minutes and so on untill two hours ended. This would be an example of _______ recording.

The correct answer is Interval.

Justification - The word Interval speaks for itself that is, being in interval. Interval recording is the process of observation in small intervals. The observer observes the behavior of a patron for quite some time and then divides the time duration of the observation in small fragments of time. The entire process is based on observing for a particular amount of time and then discontinuing with it for a certain amount of time.
