Structured observation This method had limits because the children aren't acting as they would naturally, yes, they have the freedom to answer the questions to their desire or perform the task as they wish, but that isn't how the child is naturally. This helps you compare data of children of the same age on what they would do. In a qualitative research approach, naturalistic observation involves recording your study participants’ activities in real-life conditions. It involves observing clients in their natural environments, like their home, work or a place that they enjoy visiting, to understand their normal routines and behaviors, and to avoid anxious feelings that may happen in a clinical setting.
The benefits of using structured observations are you asking the children questions or giving them tasks and kind of being prepared for what they may do. Naturalistic observation is a type of research method that professionals performing research can use to get honest and valid information. I believe that using naturalistic observation is a good way because you can see naturally how the child is and what they do without any directions or orders. Researchers might believe that the findings of a lab study can be. Can support the external validity of research. This could limit though the responses that you get from the child because they don't know what you are doing, and they may make themselves act a little different because they are being observed. Other advantages of naturalistic observation include: Allows researchers to study behaviors or situations that cannot be manipulated in a lab due to ethical concerns. The benefits of using naturalistic observation is the fact that there are no factors that are making the child act different. These most of the time are not normal behaviors for the children who are being observed. The structured observations are set up to provoke certain behaviors of interest. Naturalistic observation happens when they are studied naturally, which means the observer cannot control the conditions.
