well first you take out bread then you take out meat, cheese, and mayo then you put them all together and you have yourself a experimental/observational sandwich
In painting, yes. But a drawing can also be observational.
Observational research allows for the study of natural behavior in real-life settings, providing high external validity. It can generate rich, detailed data that can lead to meaningful insights and hypotheses for further research. Additionally, observational methods are often cost-effective and can be less prone to participant biases compared to self-report measures.
establish causality between variables by manipulating one variable and measuring its effect on another variable. Observational research can observe and describe associations between variables but cannot determine cause-and-effect relationships.
Observational studies
One strength of observational research methods is that they allow researchers to directly observe behavior in natural settings without manipulating variables, providing a more real-life representation of behavior.
Observational research is a systematic, structured study that involves documenting and analyzing behavior in a controlled setting for a specific research purpose. Casual people watching, on the other hand, is an informal and unstructured activity where individuals casually observe others in everyday environments without any specific research goal in mind.
