State
Naturalistic observation records behavior in its ordinary setting without the researcher intervening.

A researcher counts hand-washing in a public restroom from a position where no one has been told a study is running.
Watch for
Being watched changes behavior. Concealment protects the data and creates the ethical question the design must answer.
