Answer to Question 1

Researchers interested in human development study different cultures in order to
allow them to notice when patterns are universal and to provide insights into the
effects of different environments. Examples will vary, but students should provide an
example that demonstrates one of these purposes.

Answer to Question 2

Scientific observation involves watching people in their natural settings. Research
questions will vary, but should not involve cause and effect, and should include
variables that can be observed in a natural setting. Advantages of scientific
observation include that it is unobtrusive and that people act naturally. Limitations
include that the researcher has minimal control and that one cannot make claims
about cause. Observation can also occur in a laboratory or by searching archival
data.
