Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The psychologist is most likely to employ naturalistic observation to study posture-related aspects of mosquito mating behavior in a swamp. This method involves observing the behavior of organisms in their natural habitat, without any intervention or manipulation by the researcher. This would allow the psychologist to get a more accurate picture of how mosquitoes mate and the various postures involved. The other options listed (alternate assessment, portfolio measurement, and the Minnesota Mosquito Mating Posture Inventory) are not relevant or appropriate for this type of study.
