Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "participant observer" refers to a researcher who becomes a member of the subgroup they are studying, and the resulting study is known as a participant observer report. Option A (argot report) refers to a linguistic study of a subgroup's specialized vocabulary, but it is not necessarily scientific or systematic. Option B (full participant report) is not a commonly used term in social science research. Option D (unreliable and biased report) is not an appropriate description of a scientific study, and it is not specific to the context of studying a subgroup as a participant observer.
