For this assignment forum, you will conduct an observation based on the video,

“Elevator Experiment”.

Instructions:

• Watch the video and determine what type of observation was conducted. Was it

a naturalistic observation, structured observation, participant observation, or a

field experiment? Explain your decision.

• Create a checklist and identify four (4) target behaviors that you would want to

observe if you were a researcher conducting an observation based on the video.

Make sure to operationalize all four (4) of your target behaviors. See sample

checklists in Readings and Resources for assistance.

• Rewatch the video and complete your checklist. Post your completed checklist

with quantitative frequency markings (tallies or checkmarks) to the discussion

board.

• How might you improve the inter-rater reliability of the study?

How might you increase the external validity of the observation study? Give at

least one example.
