Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Being passive and asking nonspecific questions can help increase the participant's comfort level and ease into the study. It can also prevent the participant from feeling like they are being interrogated or that there is a right or wrong answer. This approach can help establish rapport and ultimately lead to more fruitful interactions. Option A may come across as overly formal, and option B can be perceived as intrusive, while option C may create a sense of anxiety and uncertainty for the participant.
