A social psychologist is interested in studying how people experience grief. For each of the following situations, identify the research strategy (experiment, survey, content analysis, or participant observation) that she would be using:

a. To find out how people cope with the loss of loved ones, the psychologist selects a random sample of people and distributes a questionnaire that asks them to provide information about their personal grieving experiences. b. The psychologist attends a grief-counseling meeting and pretends that she is one of the mourners (after having obtained permission from the grief counselor). In this way, she is able to observe firsthand how people express their grief. c. The grief counselor provides the psychologist with several anonymous journals in which people are urged to express their grief by writing down their thoughts and feelings in a stream-of-consciousness manner. The psychologist then reads through the various journal entries in an attempt to find patterns in the way that people experience grief.
