B. Write a brief description of each of the following types of research.

1. Case studies
- A case study is a detailed study of a specific subject such as a single person, group, location,
event, organization, or phenomena. Case studies are commonly used in social, educational,
clinical, and business research for explaining, comparing, assessing, and understanding
diverse elements of a research subject.

2. Naturalistic Observation

-Naturalistic observation is a research method that is used by psychologists and other social
scientists. This method entails watching subjects in their natural habitat. It can be utilized if
conducting lab study is unrealistic, expensive, or would have a negative impact on the
subject's behavior.

3. Surveys
-A survey is the process of gathering information by asking people questions in person, on
paper, over the phone, or online with the goal of understanding populations as a whole.
Surveys are a valuable source of information and data for everyone.

4. Questionnaires
- A questionnaire is a research tool that consists of a set of questions or other forms of
prompts designed to gather data from a respondent. A typical research questionnaire has a
combination of closed-ended and open-ended questions.

5. Interviews
- A data collecting approach in which two or more people exchange information via a
sequence of questions and responses. A researcher creates the questions in order to extract
information from interviewees on a given topic or range of topics. This can be done in
person-to-person, over the phone and internet.
