Mary used structured observation, as she created a specific laboratory situation for the purpose of observing and measuring the infants' relationships with their caregivers. Naturalistic observation would involve observing infants in their natural environment without intervening, self-report would involve asking the caregivers or infants to report on their relationship, and a questionnaire would involve asking caregivers to respond to a set of predetermined questions.
