My biggest challenge would be the authenticity because when observing people could act a certain way.

The biggest challenge about trying to complete scientific research in human behavior and society is that everyone has different views and reasonings behind their actions. Everyone has their own definition of certain behaviors so it’s be hard to determine exactly what’s happening.

The biggest challenge in studying behavior and society is how diverse we as a species are. We have different ways we act, so making generalizations for humanity as a whole is near impossible.

Understanding bias and social ques is the most challenging. I’m having trouble explaining it though because I have exactly one brain cell

If people know if they are being studied or watched they will act different.

The biggest challenge when trying to research human behavior and society is that every single person is different and it's hard to come up with conclusions that represents the majority of people.

The biggest challenge about trying to complete scientific research on human behavior and study would be the diversity, we are so diverse that there isn't a basis to the majority.

When trying to conduct research on human cultures, the biggest challenge is trying to obtain unbiased and legal data. There are a lot of laws that protect privacy rights that you would have to work around. Also, as we discussed at the beginning of the year, people tend to behave differently when they know that they are being watched/studied. Because of these challenges, using data that is collected regularly from companies, police, traffic operators, and such can be a helpful option.

The hardest part would be putting biases aside as well as trying to fit so many different people into one conclusion about society.

It would be difficult because every person is different and acts different so all the behaviors you would collect would be different.

The biggest challenge would be the different views, biases, and people's definition of a normal action.

I would think that the hardest part of studying humans would be trying to get people to act like themselves and not let the fact that they are being studied influence their actions or opinions. If it is a observational study, the hardest part would be staying anonymous and watching people without being creepy

People are so different so it can be hard to get accurate results.

people can add their personal interest and fear to be wrong/ look bad

Every single person has different experiences that make them react differently to any situation, so you can't categorize one reaction as all of humanity. If the reaction is a trend, then you can start to make generalizations but wisely

People acting abnormally when you are observing them/your own bias

one challenge would be the fact that there is a bias towards the observations. the researcher would always see the culture/behavior as their own or as something they do not know so there are certain thoughts from their own experiences Leave a Reply. |
