Participant Observation
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Participant observation (PO) is a research methodology where the researcher is immersed in the day-to-day activities of the participants. The objective is usually to record conduct under the widest range of possible settings.
Detailed explanation-2: -One theoretical disadvantage is the low degree of reliability. It would be almost impossible for another researcher to repeat given that a participant observation study relies on the personal skills and characteristics of the lone researcher. Another theoretical disadvantage is the low degree of representativeness.
Detailed explanation-3: -Evaluating the Validity of an Observational Study Whereas precision is a lack of random error, validity refers to a lack of systematic error. Observational studies are evaluated in terms of both internal and external validity. Internal validity refers to the strength of the inferences from the study.
