Study Habits Survey
Many students have unique preferences when it comes to preparing for exams, but psychologists still have questions about how these habits affect focus. To investigate this, a researcher used a self-report questionnaire to ask college students about their study environments and common distractions. Some of the gathered data is shown in the tables below.
