Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Callum's professor was using the survey research method, which involves asking participants to respond to a series of questions. In this case, the questionnaire was designed to gather information on prejudice, and the anonymity of the responses helps to improve the honesty of the answers. The other options listed (field experiment, naturalistic observation, and laboratory experiment) all involve different types of observation or experimental manipulation, which are not present in a survey.
