Research studies a subject in depth

A way of getting information about a specific type of behavior, experience, or event.

researchers collect information about subjects by observing them unobtrusively, without interfering with them in any way.

researchers perform laboratory observation in a laboratory rather than in a natural setting.

Researchers usually standardize this test, which means they create uniform procedures for giving and scoring them.

is a technique in which every unit in the population has a chance of being selected in the sample, and this chance can be accurately
