read and answer the 3 questions.

a.) Is the below quote an operational definition or a conceptual definition of the variable, “grieving?” Explain your answer.

“Researchers may strongly suspect grief only when certain conditions are met: First, two (or more) animals choose to spend time together beyond survival-oriented behaviors such as foraging or mating. Second, when one animal dies, the survivor alters his or her normal behavioral routine—perhaps reducing the amount of time devoted to eating or sleeping, adopting a body posture or facial expression indicative of depression or agitation, or generally failing to thrive.”

b) What does it mean to “anthropomorphize”? Do you think anthropomorphizing could be a special example of observer bias? Why or why not?

c) The article states: “One of the people who commented in the public comments section wrote,’Those of us who live with animals (dogs, cats, horses, cattle, etc)in long term daily life know from experience that animals DO exhibit grief and mourning beyond just curiosity.'”

Do you think that this person’s observations are based on intuition, experience, or empiricism? Why? What would you add to this comment to make it more scientific/empirical?
