Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best method to test this hypothesis would be a survey where participants are asked their age and their opinion on the use of nuclear energy. This would allow for a comparison between age groups and their attitudes towards nuclear energy. Archival studies involve analyzing existing data and would not necessarily provide information on attitudes towards nuclear energy. A case study would focus on a specific individual or group and may not be representative of the larger population. Naturalistic observation involves observing behavior in a natural environment, which would not be applicable for this hypothesis.
