Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A checklist would be the best instrument for Angeline to use in her observational study. This is because she is specifically interested in whether boys are reprimanded more than girls for aggressive actions. With a checklist, she can simply mark whether each incident observed involves a boy or a girl, and whether or not they were reprimanded. This will make it easy for her to compare the number of times boys and girls were reprimanded for aggressive behavior. A rating scale, rubric, or survey would not be as effective in answering her research question.
