about himself

3. some kinds of S data are all their own, simple and easy to gather
Disadvantage of S data - correct answer-1. people sometimes will not or cannot tell
researchers about themselves
2 easy to obtain so psychologists rely on them too much

acquaintances about the personality traits of the person being studied

informants' judgements are potentially based
2. that this information comes from real life
3. that informants can use common sense
4. some kinds of I data are true by definition
5. judgements by people who know the person are important because they affect
reputation,opportunites and expectancies.

person
2 that informants judgements can be subject to random errors
3 judgements can be systematically biased

arrested, getting sick, or graduating from college
Advantages of L data - correct answer-1. being objective and verifiable

something. may be observed in the persons real life environment or an artificial setting
