• Imagine that you are trying to measure attitudes about training at a manufacturing plant. One manager thinks it is better to use a paper survey, while another thinks it would be better to create an online survey that can be taken using a smartphone. What are advantages and disadvantages of each approach? Which do you think would be more effective in this case, and why?
• Imagine that we want to learn more about how interacting with a boss affects someone's mood. Why might experience sampling method (ESM) be a helpful approach in a study like this? What advantages does that methodology have over asking employees to fill out a "one-time-only" survey?
• Imagine that you conduct a survey for a company where you told respondents you would not disclose their identity. One respondent reports on the survey that a colleague is engaging in unsafe behaviors that puts others at physical risk on the job.

What would you do in response to this request?
