Discuss which free-format self-report measure (e.g. projective measure, associative, list etc.) you would prefer to administer if you were a researcher, and explain why. Would you prefer a different one if you were a participant in the study? Explain.

• Compare free-format self-report measures to fixed-format self-report measures.
• Explain the advantages of free-format self-report measures and fixed-format self-report measures by listing the advantages for each in columns like those below. Briefly explain as many advantages as possible for each.

• Respond to one of the following two questions (A or B):

A. Discuss which free-format self-report measure (e.g. projective measure, associative, list etc.) you would prefer to administer if you were a researcher, and explain why. Would you prefer a different one if you were a participant in the study? Explain.

 

B. Discuss which fixed-format self-report measure (e.g. Likert scale, semantic differential, etc.) you would prefer to administer if you were a researcher, and explain why. Would you prefer a different one if you were a participant in the study? Explain.
