A corporate psychologist wants to investigate whether negotiation partners mirror each other's defensive non-verbal signals (such as crossing arms) as a sign of mutual tension or disagreement during a formal mediation session. The researcher conducts an observational study from a viewing gallery, recording the seated posture of pairs of negotiators. The researcher observes and records whether the negotiators have their arms crossed every 10 minutes over a three-hour mediation session.
Suggest one closed question that could have been used if the corporate psychologist had used a self-report method (such as a questionnaire) instead of the observation method in this study.
