- Observations Evaluation
- + Naturalistic have higher Eco Valid as they are in a real setting.
- - Naturalistic lack reliability as real life situations are hard to replicate.
- - Covert has ethical issues as pps. do now know they are being observed and cannot give consent.
- + Covert do not suffer DC as they do not know they are being observed.
- - Overt pps. know they are being observed, may behave unnaturally = high DC
- + Pps. observations gather more detailed info as research is part of group.
- + Non-pps. observations increase objectivity.
- - Controlled has controlled variables = can establish cause and effect = increase reliability.
- - Controlled: children may work out aim - higher DC.
- + Structured high in reliability = clear categories to record behaviour.
