What are the main psychological research methods?

Observation method.

In the natural situation, people's behaviors are systematically observed and recorded purposefully and planned, and then the records are analyzed to find out the laws and methods of psychological activities. The so-called natural situation means that the observed person does not know that his behavior is being observed.

Objective and true, the observer is passive, and the recording and analysis of observation results are easily influenced by the observer's expectation and prejudice.
