Example of Structured Observation: Culture of Honor

Observers were positioned in a hallway to rate the body language and emotional reactions of participants who were deliberately bumped and insulted by a confederate. The quantitative observational data supported their hypothesis, showing that participants from the southern United States reacted with more aggression than those from the northern United States.
