Indirect observation

  • One type of observation focuses on the physical traces left by the factors of interest.

  • These traces are of two types;



1. Accretions left

2. Erosion

3. Accretions involve studies such as the observation of liquor bottles in the Erosion


  • • Accretions involve a trash to eliminate the liquor consumption in cities without liquor stores.

  • • Erosion observations are less frequent. An example would be the study of a relative readership of different sections of an encyclopedia by measuring the wear and tear on the pages.

  • • Observation of the results of past actions will not bias the data if done on a one-time basis.

  • • E.g. Pantry audits determine what purchases have been made in the past.


Observation of records

  • • Whenever researchers use data collected for another purpose, they are employing the observation method in a manner similar in character to the observation of physical trace

  • • The records of previous activities such as population census are physical traces of previous periods.
