Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The degree of researcher's involvement relates to whether the data are elicited (researcher asks for and generates the data, such as survey responses or interviews) or naturally occurring (researcher observes and documents existing phenomena, such as behavior or social media posts). The other options (quantitative vs qualitative and visual vs textual) do not necessarily depend on the researcher's involvement, and the validity and reliability of data depend on multiple factors beyond the degree of researcher involvement.
