What is the primary tool for studying behavior and mental processes?

Descriptive research
Quantitative research
The scientific method
Systematic observation

The correct answer is: Systematic observation

Systematic observation is the primary tool for studying behavior and mental processes as it involves carefully observing and recording behaviors in a systematic and objective manner. Descriptive research and quantitative research may also be used, but they are not as comprehensive as systematic observation in understanding behavior and mental processes. The scientific method is a general process used in conducting research, including systematic observation, but it is not a specific tool for studying behavior and mental processes.
