Q

peer review AO3

A
  • anonymous, criticise rivals

Q

observational techniques

observing without knowledge
‘one way mirror’
- less likely investigator effects
- ethical issues

observational techniques
overt observation

A

A

participant takes part
group member quietly observing without their knowledge (covert)
- in depth data, close proximity
- investigator effects if overt

Q

observational techniques
structured observations

A

coded schedules according to previously agreed formula organising data into behavioural catergorues
which behaviours examined
- compare across groups
- high internal validity
not full picture

Q

observational techniques
unstructured observations

A

- richness in data
- observer bias

records every behaviour between intervals
better use of time
not all behaviour relevant
