Trina is a successful manager in a mid-sized male-dominated manufacturing company. She expects immediate compliance when she gives an order and rarely explains the reason for her commands to subordinates.

She also tends to focus her attention and efforts on the task at hand, preferring to deal with task-based issues rather than more global concerns. Joyce holds a comparable position with another company.

b) Trina is more likely to report gender discrimination.

Answer to Question 2

Systematic observation involves carefully observing behavior as it occurs by taking accurate measurements of a particular behavior among people. Naturalistic observation is a type of observation that is conducted in natural settings rather than in a controlled environment. Both techniques are used to study social behavior and involve the researcher carefully observing behavior as it occurs. However, systematic observation is not always carried out in natural settings, whereas naturalistic observation always is.
