Participant Observation
Laboratory observation is in a laboratory and naturalistic observation is in the nature.
an inital observation is the basic and main observation of the experiment
Formal observation is an official observation. The observer will make prior arrangements before the observation including date, time, venue and purpose of observation among others.
A qualitive observation is an observation of a product of a reaction which cannot be measured numerically, e.g. colour, state of matter. A quantitive observation is an observation which can be measured, e.g. size, volume.
What are some distinct advantages of a qualitative data gathering strategy, such as participant observation, over more quantitative approaches
The strength of a non-participant observation is that it is easier to record data promptly and objectively. It is also less demanding than participant observation as the participant do not have to be involved.
participant is qualitative structured is quantitative
Direct observation, including participant and non-participant observation, ethnographic diaries, and more recently Photography and video. Hope this helps!
Non-participant, or direct, observation is where data are collected by observing behaviour without interacting with the participants. Participant observation is where data are collected by interacting with, and therefore experiencing, the phenomenon being studied.
In the classroom study conducted in 1968, Pygmalion was a non-participant observation. Researchers observed the teachers' expectations and how those influenced students' performance without directly involving themselves in the interactions.

Participant observation
Some disadvantages of non-participant observation include the potential for researcher bias or misinterpretation of behavior, limited ability to capture the full context of the situation, and ethical concerns related to invading privacy or consent issues. Additionally, non-participant observation may not allow for the same depth of understanding or rapport with participants compared to participant observation.

covert observation Participant observation carried out without the explicit awareness and agreement of the social unit being studied.
Non-participant observation is used to collect data during case study research. The person making the observations is not allowed to participate and must merely observe. This can be both an advantage and disadvantage, depending on the subject being studied.
