Definition

  • Introduction Observational methods applied to natural or habitual contexts are scientific procedures that reveal the occurrence of perceptible behaviours, allowing them to be formally recorded and quantified. They also allow the analysis of the relations between these behaviours, such as sequentiality, association, and covariation. [Source: Encyclopedia of Psychological Assessment; Observational Methods]
