Document Summary

Behavioural observation can be used for correlation and. Habituation: letting participants getting used to you before beginning to record behaviours. Have multiple observers and do an inter- o o o o. Count the instances of a behaviour during a fixed. Record amount of time an individual engages in a specific behaviour during a fixed-interval period. Divide observation period into smaller intervals and record whether a specific behaviour occurs during each interval. Record it so you can go back and see what you. Take a sample of observations instead of trying to watch everything all at once. Observe during first interval and then record during second and do over. First interval focus on one behaviour and then switch during second. Observing one participant during first interval then switch to the next participant for the second interval. Good for behaviours that are unethical or impossible to. Might need to wait until desired behaviour/events happen manipulate.
