Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Self-report measures of attitudes are more appropriate when people have no good reason to hide their true feelings because they provide a direct measure of their attitudes. Covert measures may not capture the true attitudes of individuals as they may be trying to conceal their true feelings. Strong attitudes, laboratory settings, and the presence of a control group do not necessarily affect the choice between self-report and covert measures.
