Two studies (Hughes, Cutting, & Dunn, 2001; Hughes et al., 2002) have demonstrated a new observational techinique for assessing disruptive behavior in young children. The technique involves observing disruptive behaviors that are triggered while the children play a competitive card game (SNAP) that is rigged to ensure that they experience a losign streak. the situation is contrived to produce furstation which often leads to a disruptive outburst

 a. Briefly explain the difference between naturalistic observation and contrived observation. Is the SNAP technique an example of naturalistic or contrived observation? What is the major advantage of contrived obersavtion?

 b. prepare a list of five specific behaviors that you would consider to be examples of disruptive behavior for children in the SNAP games.
