Self-reporting refers to a method used in research where individuals provide information about their thoughts, feelings, behaviors, or experiences. This can be done through surveys, questionnaires, interviews, or other forms of self-assessment. Self-reporting relies on participants' honesty and accuracy in reporting their own experiences, making it a subjective measure of data. Researchers often use self-reporting in psychology, social sciences, health sciences, and other fields to gather data on individuals' perceptions, attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors. While self-reporting can provide valuable insights into individuals' perspectives and experiences, researchers must be cautious of potential biases, inaccuracies, and limitations associated with this method.
