Naturalistic observation Research method Advantages Disadvantages Survey Yields a lot of information Provides a good way to generate hypotheses Can provide information about many people since it’s cheap and easy to do Provides information about behavior that can’t be observed directly Relies on self-report data, which can be misleading Doesn’t allow conclusions about cause-and-effect relationships Case study Yields data that other methods can’t provide Sometimes gives incomplete information Sometimes relies only on self-report data, which can be misleading Can be subjective and thus may yield biased results Naturalistic observation Can be useful for generating hypotheses Provides information about behavior in the natural environment Sometimes yields biased results May be difficult to do unobtrusively Laboratory observation Enables use of sophisticated equipment for measuring and recording behavior Carries the risk that observed behavior is different from natural behavior Test Gives information about characteristics such as personality traits, emotional states, aptitudes, interests, abilities, values, and behaviors Requires good reliability and validity before it can be used Experiment Identifies cause-and-effect relationships Distinguishes between placebo effects and real effects of a treatment or drug Can be artificial, so results may not generalize to real-world situations
