Answer 1

Observation method 

Explanation:

The observation method is a research method that is very useful in areas where experiments cannot be conducted. It is a method in which behaviour is observed in a natural or laboratory setting. Observation carried out in a natural setting is called nature observation, and observation carried out in a laboratory setting is called controlled observation.

The observation method is widely used by child psychologists, clinical psychologists, social psychologists, etc. The observation method can be treated as a scientific method and will be beneficial when used systematically with the research's specific purpose.
