Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

A researcher is interested in studying the behavior of high-school basketball teams. Over the period of a season, he joins the team during practice, watching the players’ interactions first-hand. What type of resaerch is this?

A	a questionnaire
B	an interview
C	a case study
D	participant observation

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -The term observational research is used to refer to several different types of non-experimental studies in which behavior is systematically observed and recorded. The goal of observational research is to describe a variable or set of variables.

Detailed explanation-2: -Dependent variables (DV): These are the factor that you observe or measure. As you vary your independent variable you watch what happens to your dependent variable.

Detailed explanation-3: -The dependent variable is the variable that is being measured or tested in an experiment. 1 For example, in a study looking at how tutoring impacts test scores, the dependent variable would be the participants’ test scores since that is what is being measured.

Detailed explanation-4: -The dependent variable is measured to see if the independent variable had the hypothesized effect (e.g., the researcher measures depression symptoms after administering the drug or placebo treatments).
