Question 164

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.
