- Observational research data can be a useful complement to the information provided by other research methods. There are many variants of observational data; it may be quantitative or qualitative, gained through overt or covert observation in controlled or natural situations, and recorded digitally or manually. This guide explains how each type of observational data suits a different range of research questions and situations. It focuses on data gained through the observation of human behavior in public places. Gaining ethical approval for observational research can be a challenge in itself; the guide discusses techniques for ensuring ethically approved observations as well as techniques to ensure rigor and quality when collecting, documenting, and analyzing observational data of different types.
