Kochanska and her colleagues likely chose to study toddlers' compliance with their mothers' requests with the methodology they used because they wanted all children to be exposed to the identical situation. This would help ensure consistency in the study and increase the validity of the results by controlling for extraneous variables. While children feeling comfortable in their own homes may be a factor, it is not explicitly mentioned in the passage. The researchers may have been interested in children's subjective experience, but that is not directly stated as a reason for using this methodology.
