<p>Surveys use interviews or questionnaires to gather data about attitudes, interests, values, and behaviors, are efficient tools for quickly collecting information, and can track changes over time. Observations, on the other hand, are time-consuming and need to be conducted in various settings to ensure the observed behavior reflects development and not just environmental influences.</p> Signup and view all the answers
