background or status of the
social environment or community
through direct or indirect
observation.
Field Method
This is usually conducted in the field that
is why it is called field method.
This is sometimes called a naturalistic
study. Here, instead of asking participants
to come to a strange lab to be studied, the
experimenters observe the participants in
their natural environments.
Field Method
The advantage of a field study is that the behaviors
you observe will certainly be more natural because,
ideally, you are simply watching what would have
happened anyway, even if you weren't there. The
disadvantage of a field study is that you have no
control over the environment, so you can't really
test the impact of changes to that environment, and
you can't really ask the participants any questions
because that would be interrupting their natural
behaviors.
Field Method
For example, if you wanted to study
happiness in children, you might observe
children at school or on a playground. Don't
get confused and think that just because it's
called a 'field' study, you actually have to go
out into a field! The term simply means that
you are not in a lab. Instead, you are in a
natural environment.

Researchers give a group of people a
survey with lots of questions, and the
participants simply answer the
questions. For example, a researcher
could ask every child in a certain school
to fill out a questionnaire about what
makes them happy or unhappy.
