Behavior Expectation Scales (BES) focus on defining and measuring specific expected behaviors in individuals, often serving as benchmarks for performance evaluation. In contrast, Behavior Observation Scales (BOS) emphasize the actual observation and recording of behaviors exhibited by individuals during their performance. While BES sets the standards for what is desired, BOS provides a real-time assessment of how well individuals meet those standards through observed actions. Both scales are valuable for performance appraisal but serve different purposes in evaluating employee behavior and effectiveness.
Naturalistic observation.
The types of observation in social work research include direct observation, participant observation, structured observation, and naturalistic observation. Direct observation involves watching behavior without interaction, while participant observation involves the researcher being part of the setting being observed. Structured observation uses a predetermined set of behaviors to observe, and naturalistic observation involves observing behavior in its natural setting.

Indirect Observation
That expectation is called anticipation, which involves a belief or feeling about what is likely to happen in the future. It is often shaped by past experiences, thoughts, or patterns of behavior.
Systematic observation in psychology involves carefully planning and executing the process of observing behavior in a structured and standardized manner. It typically involves developing specific observation protocols and recording systems to document and analyze behavior objectively. This method allows researchers to gather and analyze detailed information about behavior in a systematic way.
Topography is a term used in applied behavior analysis (ABA) to describe behavior—specifically what behavior looks like. Topography defines behavior in an "operational" way, free of the coloration of values or expectation
Actually, the careful observation of behavior in real-life settings is called naturalistic observation. Operational defining involves defining variables in a measurable and observable way, often through specific actions or procedures.
The behavior observation where the subject is unaware they are being observed is known as "covert observation." This method is often used in research and psychology to gather data on natural behavior without the influence of the observer's presence. It helps researchers capture genuine actions and reactions, reducing the likelihood of observer effect bias.
Qualitative observation synonyms include descriptive observation, subjective observation, and interpretative observation. These terms emphasize the focus on qualities, characteristics, and descriptions rather than numerical measurements. For instance, describing the color, texture, or behavior of an object would be considered a qualitative observation.
It is to observe the child and to get a good understanding of the child's interests and behavior.
