Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Physiological measures can be useful in providing objective data on bodily responses, but they should not be used as operational definitions of hypothetical constructs (e.g. using heart rate as an operational definition of anxiety). It is also important to consider ethical considerations and participant comfort when using physiological measures. It may not be easy to use physiological measures in field research and participants may not always find the study interesting. Additionally, modern physiological recording equipment may require some training to use properly.
