ADVANTAGES
DISADVANTAGES
1. Natural Behaviours
When there is no effect on the
behaviours of the subject, the data
collected is much more correct.
Humans or animals shows their true
feelings, reactions, and behaviours
when they are in natural settings.
2. Aids In Research Validation
Naturalistic observation is used to
validate results from experiments that
have already been done. They help to
confirm or disprove this data because
it gives a truly accurate account of
results.
1. Outside Influences
When conduction a naturalistic
observation you have almost no
control over the influences around you
subject. These interferences could
easily impact the results of the test
and render it useless.
2. Difference of Opinion
Everyone looks at things different, and
this includes researchers and
scientists. Two people can observe the
same subject do the same exact
thing, and yet they may draw two
very different conclusions from the
actions or behaviors. This bias is the
biggest things that critics of
naturalistic observations argue.
3. Difficult To Keep It Natural
As you would imagine, it can be
difficult to conduct an examination or
experiment on a person without their
knowing. You would often have to be
at such a distance that you may not
get the full scope of what is
happening or the behaviors that are
being exhibited.
