Psychology A Level OCR Paper 1 - help me mark this question please 🙏
Explain how you would use the naturalistic observation method to conduct research on common behaviours of passengers on a long journey. Justify your decisions as part of your explanation.
In your answer, the required features that you must refer to are:
- Participant or non participant observation
- Behavioural categories
- Time or event sampling
- How data will be recorded during the observation
This would be a non-participant, covert observation to ensure social Desirability factors and demand characteristic variables don't impact the results such as the sample acting more calm. In order to maintain mundane realism. The behavioural categories will be calm and nervous, categorised by fidgeting or little movement. Groups of 2-4 will also be observed. An observer noting the actions showing nervousness and the other observer describing behaviour overall. For inter-rater reliability there'll be one other observer on each task for these observers.
Time: business hours to eliminate short journey.
Observers will note when they get on and off.
