Answer to Question 1
Field research is the study of social life in its natural setting: observing
and interviewing people where they live, work, and play. Field research
includes the following types: participant observationwhich refers to the
process of collecting data while being part of the activities of the group
that the researcher is studying case studieswhich is often an indepth,
multifaceted investigation of a single event, person, or social grouping;
ethnography which is a detailed study of the life and activities of a
group of people by researchers who may live with that group over a
period of years and unstructured interviewswhich are an extended,
open-ended interaction between an interviewer and an interviewee.
Field research provides opportunities for researchers to view from the inside what may not
be obvious to an outside observer. They are useful when attitudes and behaviors can be
understood best within their natural setting or when the researcher wants to study social
processes and change over a period of time. They provide a wealth of information about the
reactions of people and give us an opportunity to generate theories from the data collected.
Finally, research of this type is important for the study of race, ethnicity, and gender because
it often includes those who have been previously excluded from studies and provides
information on them.
