Discussion
Assertion (A) : The individual variable should be excluded in information gathering and information seeking bahaviour studies.
Reason (R) : Systematic efforts to know how information is gathered and used by different categories of users are known as user studies.
Answer: B
The answer is (A) is false but (R) is true.
Assertion (A) is false. Information-seeking behaviour depends heavily on the individual: a user's discipline, education, experience, motivation, language and personality all shape what is sought and how. User studies must take those individual variables into account, not exclude them.
Reason (R) is a correct definition: user studies are systematic investigations of how different categories of users gather and use information. Since (R) is true and (A) false, the options calling both true, both false or only (A) true are all wrong.
