behaviour by observing a

- Types:
- Naturalistic -Natural
real-life settings
-Greater validity
- Controlled -Conducted in
the laboratory -Lack
validity
- Non-Participant -Observe
at a distance --Aware of it
- Participation --Observer
becomes a plot of the
group -Not aware
- Naturalistic -Natural
real-life settings
-Greater validity
- a. Selection
- Experimental observation: Establish a cause-effect
relationship between two acts of events/variables in a
controlled setting.
- -Cause-event being changed or

members of the group are composed to
independant variable manipulation.
- Controlled like organismic variable, situational
or environment al and sequential.
- Experimental
fatigue
- Experimental
fatigue
- Field experiments and
Quasi experiments
- Controlled like organismic variable, situational
or environment al and sequential.
- Correlational research :relationship between 2
variables for prediction purpose
- Positive correlation
- Negative correlation
- Zero correlation-no correlation
- Positive correlation
- Survey research: came into existence
to study opinions,attitudes and social
