Students are assigned to observe two adults unknown to them in a public setting without uniforms. They must describe the environment, ages, genders, clothing of those observed, and analyze nonverbal cues like eye contact and body language to interpret the relationship. The observation must be discrete without conversation. Additionally, the document defines four types of perceptual distortions - stereotyping, halo effects, selective perception, and projection - and asks for an example of each with references provided in APA format.
