Question: 1 / 400

What does the process of observation in psychology involve?

Measuring behaviors and physiological processes

The process of observation in psychology involves measuring behaviors and physiological processes. The other options are incorrect because

- Option B (analyzing thoughts and feelings) is a part of introspection, which is not the same as observation. Introspection involves examining one's own thoughts and feelings, while observation involves monitoring and recording the behavior of others.

- Option C (making inferences about behavior) is an aspect of observational research, but it is not the entire process of observation. Observation also involves carefully and systematically tracking and describing behavior, followed by analyzing and interpreting data.

- Option D (applying theoretical knowledge to practical situations) is not a part of the process of observation, but rather the process of application or practical application of psychological theories and principles.
