The most interesting to me is the research method of ethnography. This allows the researcher to observe a situation as it naturally occurs. The only problem with this type of research is outside influences. People and others in the surrounding areas can be an influence on the individuals being studied. This also enables the people being observed to shape their responses around these influences.
When it comes to deception I would use ethnography. Since you are observing the person deceiving and the person being deceived in their natural setting then you are able to accurately record their responses to various scenarios.
Kolby,
ReplyDeleteI think the concept of ethnography is an excellent concept of choice. I had the opportunity to conduct an autoethnography, which allowed me to research a situation through a self research method. You uncover a lot about the situation. I believe you can also make a case to expand further on this concept because we didn't discuss this concept as much as we should have, in my opinion. I understand your concern with outside people influencing the situation being observed. However, these things occur and happen. Therefore, it’s a part of the situations natural environment. I think each part is essential to ethnography, and I like the fact you chose this topic.
