Compare and contrast structured and naturalistic observation.
What will be an ideal response?
The ideal answer should include:
1. Naturalistic observation takes place in natural settings, whereas structured observations take place in laboratory or other highly controlled settings. Naturalistic observation provides a more natural view of a person's typical behavior, but the researcher sacrifices control over what the participant experiences.
2. Structured observation allows the researcher to have maximum control of the participant experience, but it may lead to behavior changes because the participant knows he/she is being observed.
