Answer:

Observational measurement

Step-by-step explanation:

Observational measurement: In psychological research, it possesses the description and observation of a participant's behavior. The observational measurement is a type of correlational research method in which the researcher observes the ongoing behavior of the participant, and doesn't manipulate anything.

In other words, this is a systematic approach for interpreting and detecting behavior of the participants in a given study under natural contexts.

Example: A survey related to anything.

Felipe, measurement in the classroom best illustrates the observational measurement.
