Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Q. The disadvantage of this method of descriptive research is that the data is limited to only answering the question(s) asked. These limitations lead to biases, ambiguous conclusions, and low participation rates among research populations.
Detailed explanation-2: -Primarily, there are three descriptive research methods: Observation, Survey, & Case Study.
Detailed explanation-3: -Single-subject research-which involves testing a small number of participants and focusing intensively on the behaviour of each individual-is an important alternative to group research in psychology. Single-subject studies must be distinguished from case studies, in which an individual case is described in detail.
