device) o Observation - behavioral categories that are measured using a tally table
o Physiological test - some biological factor will be quantitatively measured

 Identify variable 1 and then identify variable 2 in the question

 Come up with quantitative measurements for each variable. Both variables can be measured using the same data collection technique (e.g., self-reports for both) OR
different data collection techniques can be used (e.g., self-reports for one variable and observations for the other).

 Data will be plotted on a scatter-diagram and then a positive or negative trend will be observed to find out the exact relationship
