Rationale: When psychologists engage in naturalistic observation, as in this example, they unobtrusively observe and record behavior as it occurs in the subject’s natural environment. Dr. Watson’s research is not a case study because he is not studying one student in-depth. It also is not an experiment, because he is only observing, not manipulating independent variables.
