the advantages might lead to less pollution and more trees
What are some distinct advantages of a qualitative data gathering strategy, such as participant observation, over more quantitative approaches
Some methods of observation include direct observation (watching subjects in their natural environment without interference), participant observation (participating in the activities being observed), and structured observation (using predetermined criteria to record specific behaviors). Each method has its own advantages and limitations depending on the research goals and context.
it can be far reaching, covering large areas, and can be very exact
disadvantage - less control over variables
Naturalistic observation, can be divided into two main sections, overt and covert. The advantages of using overt naturalistic observation is that you see your participants in their natural everyday environment, going about their daily lives as they would normally, however, this can cause demand characteristics in the participants as they may behave how they think the researcher wants them to. The advantages of using covert naturalistic observation is that your results will be extremely high in ecological validity, and there will be very few if no anomolous behaviours, however, covert observation of any kind can bring about numerous ethical issues.
advantage - high degree of control, high inter-rater reliability, easy to replicate,
It can observe behaviors in natural setting...or Observation can serve as basis for further assessment or to validate other assessment measures.
Provides a great opportunity to learn and understand other fellow employees working traits, allowing you to work more efficiently with them.
a quatitive observation is a observation that you can look at
Observation can provide firsthand, real-time information about a situation, allowing for a deeper understanding of context and behavior. It can uncover details that may be missed through other methods, such as verbal communication. Observation can also help validate information gathered through other means and enhance the overall accuracy and reliability of research findings.
