Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A case study is a detailed examination of a particular individual, usually for the purpose of understanding a specific psychological phenomenon, and can involve various methods of data collection such as interviews, observations, and psychological testing. A representative sample involves selecting a group of participants that accurately represents the larger population being studied, a single-blind study is a research design in which participants are unaware of the experimental condition they are in, and a naturalistic observation involves observing individuals in their natural environment without intervening or manipulating any variables.
