Participation Observation

Explanation:

A good research seeks to explore the truth of the subject as much as possible. In this case, both Kathryn Edin and Maria Kefalas tend to adopt participation observation method to investigate why poor women put motherhood before marriage. Participatory observation allows the researchers to socialize with the target audience and understand their problems from the viewpoint of a member of the community. Volunteering or immersing with the community provides the researchers the window to know the real or factual information that they the women could share with them. As a part of the community, the researchers will be able to elicit as much information as they could gather concerning their problems since revealing or telling or sharing the actual problem in a friendly environment in the community makes the job much easier.
