- field -difficult to establish cause and effect
- allow comparisons
- cons

- surveys
- representative and generalisable
- hypothesis, operationalise concepts, conduct pilot study
- types
- random
- systematic sampling
- stratified sampling
- quota sampling
- snowball
- longitudinal studies
- on-going survey
- difficult to obtain funding
- participant withdrawl at any point
- hawthorne
- collect sample at regular intervals over a period of years
- avoid ethical problems, informed consent
- discover patterns, trends and causes over time
- more valid
- on-going survey
- experiments
