Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nailah and Salama used archival research by examining mass communication records, specifically award-winning films from the past 20 years, to identify a common theme in their stories. Option B (survey archives) involves the use of survey data, which is not relevant in this scenario. Option C (systematic observations) involves observing phenomena in a naturalistic setting, which is not applicable here. Option D (self-reports) involves collecting data directly from individuals about their attitudes, behaviors, or experiences, which again is not applicable in this situation.
