Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Non-obtrusive measures refer to techniques that reduce the reactivity of participants' behavior by minimizing their awareness of being observed or measured. These techniques are used to obtain more accurate and unbiased data by reducing the effect of the participant's awareness of being studied. Examples of non-obtrusive measures include unobtrusive observation, analysis of archival records, and content analysis of written or oral communication. None of the other options (deception, psycho-reactive techniques, archival methods, or online surveys) specifically involve non-obtrusive measures.
