question 4

Multiple Choice

Malamuth notes that in his research program on sexual aggression, he has employed two types of aggression measures-a laboratory measure and a naturalistic measure-which have opposite advantages and disadvantages. The advantage of the laboratory measure of aggression is that:

• A) it is a self-report measure and, therefore, is immune to errors occurring from social desirability pressures.
• B) it assesses behavior in a setting that is high in ecological validity.
• C) almost all previous research has used it, so it allows for comparisons among studies.
• D) it is an objective measure that does not rely on subjects' self-reports.
