Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Naturalistic observation involves observing behavior in a real-life setting without any manipulation or intervention by the researcher. Therefore, it must always occur in a real-life setting. The other options (experiment, structured observation, and systematic observation) can occur in either a real-life or a laboratory setting depending on the research question and design.
