A researcher wants to conduct a study using the structured observation method to investigate how often drivers engage in distracting behaviours (such as adjusting a satellite navigation system, eating, or grooming) while waiting at a busy metropolitan intersection. The researcher observes drivers stationary at red lights, recording any distracting behaviour during the first 20 seconds after their vehicle comes to a complete stop.
Suggest one open question that could have been used if the researcher had used the self-report method instead of the observation method in this study.
