Observers may not need to be face to face with the participant, as they can observe behaviors from a distance (e.g. in a naturalistic setting or through video recordings). In contrast, interviewers generally need to be face to face with the participant in order to conduct an interview. The use of protocols (specific procedures or instructions) can vary for both observers and interviewers, and is not necessarily a defining difference between the two methods.
