Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An unobtrusive measure is one that does not involve direct observation or intervention from the researcher, and instead occurs naturally in the research context. Indirect measures, such as analyzing physical traces or records, are often used in unobtrusive research, making A) indirect the best choice. Thematic, self-report, and subjective measures are not necessarily unobtrusive and do not necessarily occur naturally in the research context.
