Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The researcher is using systematic observation, as they are coding specific nonverbal behaviours during an observation in a structured and organized manner. Naturalistic observation would involve simply observing the couples without specifically coding their behaviours. A survey would involve asking the couples questions rather than observing their behaviour. A case study would involve focusing on one specific couple and their child-rearing practices, rather than observing multiple couples.
