Postdevelopmental Approaches to Childhood Research Observation
This book challenges the developmentalist paradigm that dominates research into children and childhood, focusing on observation as a research method.It offers new postdevelopmental ways of conducting childhood observations which are diverse in context and theoretical orientation, and in the process, deconstructs the dominant traditions of childhood research.Written by leading scholars based in Canada, Norway, the UK, and the USA, the chapters consider observation as it is enacted in the home, nursery or classroom.Drawing on a range of theories including feminist new materialism, social semiotics, and posthumanism, the chapters cover a range of topics including reciprocal methods, photography, childhood art, and memoir.

Anthropic Bias : Observation Selection Effects in Science and Philosophy
Anthropic Bias explores how to reason when you suspect that your evidence is biased by "observation selection effects"--that is, evidence that has been filtered by the precondition that there be some suitably positioned observer to "have" the evidence.This conundrum--sometimes alluded to as "the anthropic principle," "self-locating belief," or "indexical information"--turns out to be a surprisingly perplexing and intellectually stimulating challenge, one abounding with important implications for many areas in science and philosophy.There are the philosophical thought experiments and paradoxes: the Doomsday Argument; Sleeping Beauty; the Presumptuous Philosopher; Adam & Eve; the Absent-Minded Driver; the Shooting Room. And there are the applications in contemporary science: cosmology ("How many universes are there?", "Why does the universe appear fine-tuned for life?"); evolutionary theory ("How improbable was the evolution of intelligent life on our planet?"); the problem of time's arrow ("Can it be given a thermodynamic explanation?"); quantum physics ("How can the many-worlds theory be tested?"); game-theory problems with imperfect recall ("How to model them?"); even traffic analysis ("Why is the 'next lane' faster?"). Anthropic Bias argues that the same principles are at work across all these domains. And it offers a synthesis: a mathematically explicit theory of observation selection effects that attempts to meet scientific needs while steering clear of philosophical paradox.

What distinguishes systematic observation from participant observation in field research?
Systematic observation in field research involves the structured and planned collection of data through direct observation of a specific phenomenon, often using predetermined categories or criteria. On the other hand, participant observation involves the researcher immersing themselves in the social setting being studied, actively participating in the activities and interactions of the group being observed. While systematic observation allows for a more objective and standardized approach to data collection, participant observation provides a deeper understanding of the social context and dynamics by experiencing it firsthand. Ultimately, the main distinction lies in the level of involvement and interaction between the researcher and the subjects of the study.

What distinguishes systematic observation from participatory observation in field research?
Systematic observation in field research involves the structured and predetermined collection of data based on specific variables or behaviors of interest. Researchers use predefined criteria to guide their observations and ensure consistency in data collection. On the other hand, participatory observation involves the researcher immersing themselves in the social setting being studied, actively participating in the activities of the group being observed. This approach allows the researcher to gain a deeper understanding of the context and culture of the group, but may be more subjective and less structured compared to systematic observation.

What is non-participatory observation? What is deliberate observation? What is unintentional observation?
Non-participatory observation is when the observer remains separate from the group being observed and does not interact with them. This type of observation allows the observer to remain objective and not influence the behavior of the group. Deliberate observation is when the observer intentionally focuses on specific behaviors or aspects of the group being observed. This type of observation is often used in research to gather specific data or insights. Unintentional observation is when the observer passively notices and absorbs information about a group or situation without intentionally focusing on specific aspects. This type of observation can occur in everyday life, such as when someone casually observes the behavior of people in a public setting.

Is it "during my observation day," "during my observation day," or "during my observation day"?
The correct phrase is "during my observation day." This phrase indicates that the action or event is happening at some point in time while you are observing. The use of "during" shows the relationship between the observation day and the action taking place.

What are examples of covert observation and overt observation?
Covert observation involves observing individuals or groups without their knowledge, such as secretly watching people in a public place or using hidden cameras to monitor behavior. Overt observation, on the other hand, involves openly observing individuals or groups with their knowledge and consent, such as conducting interviews or participating in group activities as a researcher. An example of covert observation could be a researcher secretly watching how people interact in a coffee shop, while an example of overt observation could be a researcher openly observing a classroom setting and taking notes on student behavior.
