Some potential disadvantages of naturalistic observation in psychology include the lack of experimental control over variables, potential observer bias or subject reactivity, and limited generalizability of findings to other settings or populations. Additionally, naturalistic observations may be time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Laboratory observation takes place in a controlled environment where researchers manipulate variables, while naturalistic observation occurs in the subject's natural environment without interference. Laboratory observation allows for more precise control over variables and conditions, whereas naturalistic observation provides insights into real-world behaviors and interactions.

Observation techniques involve the systematic process of collecting data by watching and recording behaviors, events, or activities. This can include direct observation, participant observation, structured observation, and naturalistic observation. These techniques are commonly used in fields such as psychology, sociology, education, and anthropology to gather accurate and detailed information about various phenomena.

Nothing.
Some potential disadvantages of using naturalistic observation include the potential for observer bias or interference, lack of control over variables, difficulty in replicating the study, and ethical concerns related to privacy and consent of the individuals being observed.

Naturalistic observation, can be divided into two main sections, overt and covert. The advantages of using overt naturalistic observation is that you see your participants in their natural everyday environment, going about their daily lives as they would normally, however, this can cause demand characteristics in the participants as they may behave how they think the researcher wants them to. The advantages of using covert naturalistic observation is that your results will be extremely high in ecological validity, and there will be very few if no anomolous behaviours, however, covert observation of any kind can bring about numerous ethical issues.

No. In naturalistic observation, you are observing the participants in their "natural habitat", so wording has very little - if anything at all - to do with how the participants behave.
Systematic observation includes naturalistic observation, which is real-life observation, and structured observation, which takes place in a natural environment in which manipulation is involved
