Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Observational methods may not be appropriate for studying spousal abuse because abuse is often a private matter that may not be visible to an observer. Victims may also be hesitant to disclose their abuse or may feel uncomfortable being observed during abusive interactions. Additionally, observational methods may not capture the full context or complexity of the abuse and may be limited in their ability to capture the thoughts and feelings of victims and perpetrators.
