Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a researcher announces his/her role and intentions to study the subjects, it is referred to as overt observation. This means that the researcher openly observes and interacts with the subjects, without hiding his/her role or intentions. This approach is often used in research settings where there is already an established relationship between the researcher and the subjects, such as in a classroom or workplace. It is also more ethical than covert observation, where the researcher observes the subjects secretly without their knowledge or consent.
