If zoologists wanted to study how tigers interact with each other in their habitats, which of these research methods will they most likely use? Content analysis Naturalistic observation Archival research Experimental analysis

Answer 1

Answer:

naturalistic observation

Explanation:

The best possible way to study how tigers interact with each other in their habitats would be to use a naturalistic observation. This type of observation focuses on observing the main subject of the study in it's natural environment without interfering in any sort of way. This allows the scientists to observe exactly how the tigers interact when there are no humans around.

Answer 2

Answer:

Naturalistic observation

Explanation:

This is the method which involved the observation of organisms in their natural environment. It is  a research method employed by social scientists when   it is difficult to carry out laboratory studies, or the  latter studies is capital intensive, or  the laboratory  studies will   affect the  behaviours of the organisms under study, leading to inaccurate results.

It gives perfect results because the understudy organism are  in their natural habitats,with little or no  intervention in  natural social life . This may not be possible in laboratory settings.Thus  they exhibit natural behaviour / characteristics, desired by the investigator. Generally organism exhibit their true characteristics when placed in  natural environments.

Its main disadvantage is that it is difficult for the researcher to control the factors  or variables in the external environments and  even to determine the exact factor which leads to the observed behaviour..
