Event sampling involves recording each occurrence of a specific behavior or event. This would be the appropriate choice if the observer is switching between observing different behaviors during the observation period. Time sampling involves recording during predetermined time intervals, individual sampling involves recording the behavior of a specific individual, and frequency sampling involves recording the number of times a behavior occurs within a specific time period.
