Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The researcher is measuring the actual behavior of individuals in an emergency situation, specifically how quickly they provide help. This is a behavioral measure, as opposed to a self-report measure (asking individuals to report on their own behavior), a physiological measure (measuring bodily responses like heart rate), or a reactive measure (measuring responses to an external stimulus, like a loud noise).
