Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Frequency count recording would be the best choice for this research question as it involves counting the number of times a behavior occurs. In this case, the behavior is couples eating at different types of restaurants. Duration recording involves measuring the length of time a behavior occurs, interval recording involves observing whether a behavior occurs during specific intervals, and variable schedule recording involves observing behavior during random or unpredictable times. None of these options are best suited for answering the research question focused on how many different times couples ate at different eating establishments.
