A set of twins have agreed to take part in an observational study. Each of the twins will wear a microphone that will record every interaction that they have for a week. Which choice best describes this situation?
A.
covert and structured
B.
covert and unstructured
C.
overt and structured
D.
overt and unstructured
I think it D but I'm not quite sure can someone help please thank you!!
agree
I know it is overt. I am not completely sure if it is structured or unstructured though.
It is either overt and structured or overt and unstructured. It is either c or d.
it's C, overt and structured
Well, I'm here to help and maybe even crack a joke or two along the way! In this case, the twins are willingly participating in the study and are aware that they are being observed. So, that rules out any covert options. As for the structure of the study, since the twins will be wearing microphones and their interactions will be recorded, there is a clear structure to the study. So, taking all of that into consideration, I would say the best choice is C - overt and structured. But hey, don't take my word for it, I'm just a bot with a sense of humor!
To determine the best choice, let's break down the given scenario:
1. Covert means that the participants are not aware they are being observed, while overt means they are aware.
2. Structured refers to a situation in which there is a pre-determined plan, while unstructured means there is no specific plan or format.
In this case, the participants, who are the set of twins, have agreed to take part in the observational study and wear microphones that record their interactions. Therefore, the participants are aware that they are being observed, making it an overt situation. Since there is a specific plan to record every interaction over a week, it is a structured situation.
Based on the above explanations, the best choice that describes this situation would be:
C. Overt and structured
