An educational psychologist is investigating whether students engage in active listening behaviors (such as nodding their heads) during a 50-minute university lecture. The researcher conducts a naturalistic observation by sitting at the back of the lecture theatre and recording whether a target sample of students nod in agreement at key points during the lecture.
Suggest one closed question that could have been used if the psychologist had chosen a self-report method (such as a questionnaire) instead of the observation method in this study.
