Method: a method is a procedure agreed on by participants of a discussion or research project. In the case of violations of a method, the comparability of the results is in particular questioned, since these no longer come from a set with uniformly defined properties of the elements.

Ethology on Method - Dictionary of Arguments

Corr I 279
Method/Ethology/behavior/measurement/animal personality/Gosling: Direct comparisons of the two methods (rating or coding) suggest that rating methods are superior to coding methods for capturing personality traits because rating methods are more reliable, are not as subjective as is sometimes assumed, and are generally much more practical (Vazire, Gosling, Dickey and Shapiro 2007)(1).
Corr I 280
Behavior codings, in contrast, are notoriously difficult to measure reliably, particularly when observations are made across different times of day or under varying conditions. Even when behaviours are measured at the same time of day or under the same conditions, they may reflect other characteristics of the environment (e.g., situational influences) and not personality. It is important to note that behaviour codings are not poor measures of behaviour, but that they are poor measures of personality. Behaviour-coding methods may be better suited for experimental manipulations, where researchers are concerned with detecting the effects of situational variables on behaviour.
