A psychologist is monitoring a group of children, recording each instance of helping behaviour as it occurs.
00:08
Is this the experimental method? naturalistic observation, case studies, or the survey method.
00:16
Right, so these are different types of research methods.
00:20
And if we go through them and say what they look like.
00:26
So we'll start with d, the survey method.
00:28
This is a questionnaire, a survey.
00:32
And it's given to participants and they answer questions.
00:35
This isn't what's happening here.
00:36
Because these children aren't being asked questions, they're just being watched.
00:42
A case study is something very in -depth on a single case.
00:48
So it could be a person, it could be a group or a caribbean event, and as much information as gather on them as possible.
00:55
So a single case with a lot of information.
01:00
So we do have a group here, but this isn't a case study, because it's not very in -depth, it's just looking at their helping behaviour...
