Questioning allows researchers to ask open-ended questions and gather detailed information about the participant's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. This enables them to collect a wider array of data than simple observation alone. Observation approaches, on the other hand, generally rely on specific behaviors or actions that can be observed and measured, limiting the range of data that can be collected.
