Note to players: specific term required. A paper that argues against this method notes that feeling grouchy and hitting over 100 in a round of golf tend to covary. A later paper about this method argues that separate behavioral production and verbal availability systems make this method flawed. Nisbett and Wilson argued against the reliability of applying this method to higher-order thought in a 1977 paper that attacked theories of (*) self-perception and cognitive dissonance. This was the primary data-collecting method used by structuralist psychologists Edward Titchener and Wilhelm Wundt (VIL-helm vunt). This method was the dominant mode of psychological data collection prior to behaviorism.
