That is the observation of something under contrived conditons. As opposed to the observation of something under natural conditions. For example, observing rats negotiating a maze constructed in a laboratory is a manipulative observation, while observing rats negotiating their way around their natural habitat is a non-manipulative observation.

What are the different kinds of observation?

There are several types of observation, including naturalistic observation, where researchers observe subjects in their natural environment without interference; participant observation, where the observer becomes part of the group being studied; and controlled observation, which occurs in a structured setting where variables can be manipulated. Other types include systematic observation, focusing on specific behaviors, and longitudinal observation, which tracks changes over time. Each type serves different research purposes and offers unique insights into behavior and interactions.


What is controlled observation?

Controlled observation is a type of observational study where thesituations areplanned by the researcher. This type of observation may be carried out in a laboratory type situation and because variables are manipulated is said to be high in control. The weakness of the method is that it will be low in ecological validity compared to naturalistic observation. If participants are aware they are being studied they behave differently. by Riziki Kacheche ESM Student ARU-2009/13 Tanzania

What do scientists do to make sure that changes in the manipulated variable are causing the change in the responding variable?

Scientists utilize controlled experiments where they manipulate only one variable at a time while keeping all other variables constant to ensure that any changes in the responding variable are due to changes in the manipulated variable. This helps establish a cause-and-effect relationship between the variables being studied. Additionally, incorporating control groups can further validate the relationship between the manipulated and responding variables.
