Naturalistic Observation

Naturalistic observation is con fountred as one of the basic methods in mental research and study. This fundamental research methodology is known to divulge and supporter the psychologist in his or her critical analysis of the human behavior and characteristics date in mixerly acceptable public dobriny in his or her course of interacting with other individuals in their opinion of addressing their sociological needs. In this candidate of human interaction, psychologist try to significantly analyze the human nature as shown by their actions both(prenominal) involving the verbal and non-verbal communication style and how individuals manifest their motives tour adhering to the friendly value and cultures pertaining to public communication.Naturalistic observation is commonly an developed observation of subjects mainly eyepatch they ar in their course of social interaction specifically while they are in the public place. In the course of implementing this method, the investi gator must also observe social values and cultural manners then preventing any offensive act during the observation. In addition, the concept of personal privacy and inappropriate intrusion should also be constantly sight while the tec is observing the subjects.All of these limitations must be implemented while the researcher observed the subjects in an single out nature keeping his or her presence unnoticed and ideally bump off to the personal space of the subject during their interaction. The only nerve to be focused on in this project is the psychological behavior of the subject as manifested by their in truth intricate details such as gestures, voice, reaction, seventh cranial nerve expression and impression and others.Project Naturalistic ObservationIn this aspect of applying the method of innateistic observation during an actual psychological study, this author conducted a personal project using the said methodology. In this study, the researcher curiously this autho r provide try to support the psychological hypothesis postulated by Aronson (et al, 2004) and Lesko (2000) regarding the psychological behavior and actions of individuals during an actual social interaction. This hypothesis will significantly govern the psychological observation project and will guide the researcher in establishing an interactional pattern as observed through the subjects. In this observation, the researcher presumptively hypothesized that the dominant speaker in the first bureau of the conversation will likely speak more than frequently in the later part of the conversation.The chosen subjects are a man and a woman both Caucasians who are dining in a eatery and are observably conversing with each other regarding a specific social function which both of them can relate. It is rattling apparent from the observable verbal and non-verbal aspect of their communication that the base they are conversing is very critical as they both stresses their own involvement a nd awareness to it.Verbal recording is not very likely in this situation as an attempt to push this is prevented by the environment and the situation at hand however, few notes of recorded draw words denotes that they are talking about a legal and estimable exsert in their work environment. Words mentioned such as vigilance, chief-of-executives, a settlement bargain and what the labor union ought to do will denote that they are both involve in the same put-on and in the same issue they are both probably functional with.This will suggests that the situation is likely an idle shock between the two, viable from different party, to discuss some important details regarding their business issue or a settlement for the resolution of their topic. This is established to be informal by the researcher as suggested by their attire as they are into casual wear.In non-verbal observation, the actions and gestures of the subjects will denote that they are with a paid background as their e tiquettes and manners are significantly refined for the result (Aronson et al, 2004 Lesko, 2000). In addition, their gesture mainly the speaker, at their specific chances, will suggests a clear and direct emphasis on his or her point thus suggesting that their topic is indeed of high-pitched importance (Lesko, 2000).This concept is further followed with the high intention of the other to listen carefully and then reply with his or her personal opinion on the matter with a language that is laconic and direct to the point. The observed intonations and voice volume is noticeably well modulate suggesting that both of the subjects as well versed in the field of the topic and that they are cautious of offending the other.With critical and empirical observation of the subjects, this researcher has noted that the man seems to be speaking more frequently while the woman speaks primarily in response to the mans idea. This gene suggests that the man has the part of proposal or he is the on e with the main intention for the meeting, which is likely established by him.The verbal aspect of the woman can thus be regarded to be as a comment or a supplementary mean in this conversation make her the character that the proposal is focused with. In the aspect of considering the hypothesis that is previously stated, the man is postulated to speak more frequently in the following period. And in the observed subjects, the man is indeed noted to have spoken more frequently than the woman, which establishes the hypothesized interactional pattern in the social behavior of the observed individuals.ConclusionAs observed in the conducted naturalistic observation, it has been determined by this author that social interaction of individuals are indeed influenced by their natural nature and motives manifesting through the creation of the dominant speaker and the other world the receiver.The person who has the great aim and intention in each social interaction who is more likely than one who established the said meeting has the greater possibility of becoming the main speaker in the conversation. On the other hand, the other party becomes the main receiver as his or her speech becomes supplementary or commentary with that of the other. Thus, in social interaction, it is very likely that one party manifest as the dominant side to guide and focus the conversation as he or she has the greater intention in the said interaction.BibliographyAronson, E. & Wilson T.
