Document Summary
If using this approach, what has been left out of a story is important as what is included. The outcomes of the observational research are summarized in narrative form, sometimes called a case study. Specifies the nature of the organization, people, events studies, the particular role of and techniques used by the observer, the research questions, and the events observed. In some cases, an observer actively participates in the behavior under observation, while in other cases they do not. Correlation techniques: research that attempts to measure variables precisely and examine relationships among these variables without introducing change into the research setting. Sacrifices some of the breadth and richness of observational techniques for more precision of measurement and greater control. Involves some abstraction of the real event that is the focus of the study. Differ from observational approaches in terms of the nature of the data researchers collect and the issues they investigate.
