Chapter Two

Chapter two talked a lot about the descrptive methods and how they worked in psychology.  They were naturalistic observation, surveys, and case studies. Then you also use correlation and experiments to. naturalistic observations are when you watch individuals and how they respond and act around things so you are just watching them be themselves, but they do not know because otherwise they would change how they respond around you. Surveys are basically questionairres. There are many forms of them but they get the views or interests of groups of people not just one or two, so they can be more accurate when trying to figure something out about things among people. Also, there are case studies that are when you just study one individual not a group but it helps you find out characteristics about someone or issues with them. Case studies are more narrow of a study and deal with more direct situations. But in chapter two they also tie inn correlation again and talk about things from chapter one that still tie in with psychology so I am starting to get more familiar with them all because I keep relearning things that I have already read about.
