Sociological research methods(non-participant observation)-Kimjinwoo(김진우)

what is non-participant observation?

http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/helmopen/
Non-participant observations is when the researcher/sociologist does not take part or being involved in the research. For example: when a researcher/sociologist wanted to study a group of kindergarten children, he/she just observing them because it is impossible for the researcher/sociologist to become a kindergarten children.
This advantage is staying in shape. There are not 'Moderator's intentions'. This is difference with cover participant observation.
