Detailed explanation-1: -Naturalistic observation is a qualitative research method where you record the behaviors of your research subjects in real world settings. You avoid interfering or influencing anything in a naturalistic observation. You can think of naturalistic observation as “people watching” with a purpose.
Detailed explanation-2: -An experiment is the only method that can confirm that a relationship between variables is due to a cause and effect connection.
Detailed explanation-3: -Descriptive research is designed to create a snapshot of the current thoughts, feelings, or behaviour of individuals. This section reviews three types of descriptive research: case studies, surveys, and naturalistic observation (Figure 3.4).
Detailed explanation-4: -Correlation Coefficient: A statistical measure of the extent to which two factors vary together, and thus how well either factor predicts the other.
