- 4. a free-flowing conversation around a particular topic with a respondent.
- 6. an observation conducted in an everyday environment where the behaviour being studied is normally seen.
- 7. ways of conducting research that find out new information rather than testing a prediction; often resulting in gathering qualitative data.
