👉 Natural research, also known as naturalistic research, is an approach that involves studying phenomena in their real-world contexts without manipulation or intervention by researchers. This method focuses on observing and analyzing behaviors, processes, and systems as they naturally occur, often in their environments of origin. Unlike experimental research, which manipulates variables to establish cause-and-effect relationships, natural research relies on empirical observation, data collection from natural settings, and qualitative analysis to understand complex interactions within ecosystems, social structures, or human behaviors. It emphasizes the importance of context, allowing researchers to capture the richness and complexity of real-life phenomena, though it may face challenges in isolating specific variables and establishing definitive causal links.
