Participant observation

1. The researcher did not contemplate the time frame for which the persons were depressed and the method of sampling was not applicable. It suggests that the participants were already willing to change. 2. Internal validity is the estimated fact about implications regarding cause-effect.

“college student.” Dr. Wilson may check or assure validity and reliability in his experiment by comparing what he receives from the researchers list of observations and working with the confederates to get their observations as well. I think it is very important to include the confederates’ observations because they are even more up close to the participants and can offer another insight to the subject. Since Dr. Wilson has multiple groups testing the same experiment, he can compare data from…

In qualitative research, the researcher takes on a more personal role with the participants. “The role of qualitative researcher is all-inclusive” (Shoukat, Waheed, & Waheed, 2016, p. 1498) where according to Creswell (1998) the researcher “undertakes qualitative research in a natural setting where the researcher is an instrument…
