Question

Explain the advantages of observation.

Answer 1

• Direct and first-hand information: Behaviour is studied as it actually occurs, not based on reports.
• More accurate and objective: Reduces chances of false or biased responses.
• Useful for studying behaviour: Helps in understanding real behaviour in natural situations.
• Applicable to all individuals: Can be used with children, illiterate persons, or those who cannot express themselves verbally.
• Helps in studying non-verbal behaviour: Facial expressions, gestures, and body language can be easily noted.
