Because a researcher doesn't pre-judge the
issue by deciding in advance what is / is not important when studying
social behaviour, they can react to events / ideas, follow leads, pursue
avenues of research that had not occurred to them before their
involvement with a group.
In this respect, a researcher can test hypotheses and may be able to redefine possible personal pre-conceptions about someone's behaviour in the light of their experience in the group. |
