Outline two ways in which the naturalistic observation method used in this study could affect the validity of the data collected.
A
Evaluation points could include:
-higher validity as participants unlikely to know they are being observed;
-higher ecological validity as in natural setting of high street;
-low validity due to possibly missing/misinterpreting some use of gesturing if high street busy,
-lower validity due to more extraneous variables in the natural environment,
