Naturalistic Observations

If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...

Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Research Methodology

Background:

  • Online research offers benefits like increased sample diversity and efficiency.
  • Existing guidance for online research primarily targets adults, leaving a gap for child-focused studies.
  • Remote research methods are increasingly adopted but require specific best practices for pediatric populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide comprehensive guidance on conducting remote behavioral research with children and adolescents.
  • To address the unique challenges and opportunities of online research with pediatric samples.
  • To establish best practices for moderated and unmoderated remote research methodologies.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature and best practices for remote research with children.
  • Discussion of moderated (real-time interaction) and unmoderated (independent completion) approaches.
  • Examination of key considerations including software, study design, data quality, and sample diversity.

Main Results:

  • Identified key considerations for implementing remote research with children and adolescents.
  • Provided recommendations for software selection, study design, and ensuring data quality in online settings.
  • Highlighted the importance of addressing sample diversity in remote pediatric research.

Conclusions:

  • Effective remote research with children is feasible using guided practices.
  • Standardized guidelines are needed to promote reliable and valid online research with pediatric populations.
  • This review contributes to the knowledge base for developmental psychologists conducting online studies with youth.
