Detailed explanation-1: -Structured observation is very similar to naturalistic observation and participant observation in that in all cases researchers are observing naturally occurring behavior, however, the emphasis in structured observation is on gathering quantitative rather than qualitative data.
Detailed explanation-2: -Unlike participant and naturalistic observation, structured observation does not involve studying participants in their natural environment. Instead, scientists using structured observation study participants in a more constructed or controlled environment.
Detailed explanation-3: -A participant observation demands the full-time presence of an observer in the research field, who is also a part of the group or community being studied. On the other hand, a non-participant observation does not require the direct involvement of the observer in the group or community being studied.
