Detailed explanation-1: -In naturalistic observation, the goal of the research is to observe participants in their natural setting and avoid any intervention or interference with the normal course of events. Participant observation is the primary research approach of cultural anthropology.
Detailed explanation-2: -Overt non-participant observation can be biased through the observer effect, when people change or seek to improve an aspect of their behavior just because they are aware of being observed. Covert non-participant observation refers to observing research subjects without them knowing that they are being observed at all.
