Five Research Methods (Alia Youssef)

Surveys

Def.: gathering information & data from individuals (inspecting)

E.g.: gathering people's opinions about "sushi"

Case Study

Def.: descriptive & in-depth study about a person, group or event.

E.g.: conducting a study to investigate the musical abilities of an individual with an exceptional ability to write songs.

Naturalistic

Def.: observing subjects in their natural environment, no intervention.

E.g.: studying the differences in risk taking behavior between boys and girls by observing them in different settings.

Correlation

Def.: relationship between two variables

E.g.: There is a positive correlation between suicide and depression.

Experimental Technique

Def.: examination in seeking facts or principles

E.g.: An investigator wants to evaluate whether a new technique to teach math to elementary school students is more effective than the standard teaching method.
