Observational Measures

• Frequency (e.g. frequency of stuttering as a measure of

anxiety in interpersonal relations)

The researcher assesses concrete behaviors using audio-visual

devices.

• Duration (e.g. the number of minutes working at a task as

a measure of task interest)

• Intensity (e.g. how hard a person claps his or her hands as a

measure of effort)

• Latency (e.g. the number of days before a person begins to

work on a project as a measure of procrastination)

• Speed (e.g. how long it takes a mouse to complete a maze

as a measure of learning ability)
