1. experimental operational definition.
2. hypothetical operational definition.
3. independent operational definition.
4. measured operational definition.

Answer 1

1. experimental operational definition.

Step-by-step explanation:

An experimental operational definition is a procedure that Schachter used to investigate the relation between anxiety and affiliation.

He realized that most of the men’s anxiety appears from the theory of affiliation. He made an experiment to divide people into 2 groups: highly anxious and barely anxious.

He realized that stress or fear of something unknown can influence the behavior of one person.
