Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

HaeJin is examining personal ads that have already been placed by men and women, so she is using an archival study. She is not intervening or manipulating any variables, so it cannot be an experiment. She is also not directly observing or recording the behavior of individuals, so it is not an observational study. While personal ads may be a form of self-report, HaeJin is not asking individuals to fill out a questionnaire, so it is not a survey study.
