In naturalistic observation, the practice of dichotomous recording of whether a behaviour occurs or not constitutes:
ACluster sampling
BTime-interval sampling
COne/zero sampling ✓ Correct
DContinuous real-time sampling
Correct answer: (C) One/zero sampling — Dichotomous recording of whether a behaviour occurs is one/zero sampling, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★Dichotomous recording of whether a behaviour occurs is one/zero sampling, so that is the answer.
★One/zero sampling notes only whether a behaviour happened in an interval.
★It records a one if the behaviour occurs and a zero if it does not.
★This yes or no coding is exactly a dichotomous record.
★Time-interval sampling checks behaviour at set time points rather than presence or absence overall.
★Continuous real-time sampling records every occurrence and its duration, which is not dichotomous.
