research include rich, qualitative data and context-specific insights.

as-observer, observer-as-participant, and complete observer roles?
Answer: Complete participant: fully engages in the group being studied.
Participant-as-observer: participates but is also aware of the research
role. Observer-as-participant: primarily observes but may interact.
Complete observer: does not interact and only observes.
⫸ What are the differences between a personal interview and a field
research interview? Answer: A personal interview is typically structured

participant's natural setting.
