508941214	Differences	o Caitlyn and Darby both noticed how she stared at another girl in the class when she entered, but Meaghan never noticed that she kept staring at the same girl.
508941215	Is Naturalistic Observation Reliable?	o In our experiment, naturalistic observation is not very reliable in gathering information about human behavior because we are only looking at one person to relate their behavior to all of the citizens in the nation.
508941216	Is Naturalistic Observation Reliable?	o In our experiment, naturalistic observation is not very reliable in gathering information about human behavior:  Different types of people  Different situations  Different personalities  Intellectual level  In a Health Occ class, might not relate to anything else anyone would recognize  Classroom setting  Different background  Mood during that observation/day  Knowing the person
508941219	Longitudinal Case Study	If the group were to test the hypothesis, we would perform a longitudinal case study. In this research method we would be able to track people throughout their whole education and schooling. From this, we would be able to determine the students studying habits and see how concentrated they are in the classroom. In this study, a regular case study would not be beneficial because the experimenters would not have background knowledge on the students.
508941220	Longitudinal Case Study	They would only be able to see the students' actions at that one point in time. An experiment would not be used because this type of study would not be able to fully study the actions of a person. A naturalistic observation would not be used to test this hypothesis because an experimenter would not be able to get valid information about the subjects in the experiment. A longitudinal case study would be the best type of research method to be used to test this hypothesis because it will result in the best results.
