Needs Grading
Often times, unobtrusive measures are required for solid
research. Explain what unobtrusive measures are and why they
are important. Give an example of where they would be vital to
research and one example where they would not.
Answer:
Unobtrusive measures are measures that don't require the
researcher to intrude in the research context. It can also be
called unobtrusive research. It is made up of methods in which
one can study social behavior without affecting it. Unobtrusive
measures would be vital in a research dealing with a social class
and graduation announcements. An example where they would
not be vital would be counting the number of people that rides
bike for transportation instead of taking a city bus.
