  • Evaluate the Observation in terms of generalisability and reliability
    • Reliability
      • +  Loads of people were watching at the same time so increased reliability
      • -  It wasn't operationalised so we all had different interpretations of what a big car was
      • +  We all used the same tally system so increased reliability
      • -  All information was gathered at one time so less reliable
    • Generalisability
      • -  Can't be generalised to entire population because we only took the information from one town
      • +  Can be generalised to people who are available at that time
      • -  Target population can only be generalised to people who don't work and were passing by
