Detailed explanation-1: -Naturalistic observation is an observational method that involves observing people’s behavior in the environment in which it typically occurs. Thus naturalistic observation is a type of field research (as opposed to a type of laboratory research).
Detailed explanation-2: -Observation methods in research are utilized in many qualitative research methodologies such as thematic analysis and grounded theory. Both methods can involve stages of collecting data through observational methods in natural settings.
