What is the importance of observation in social research?

The main strength of observation is that it provides direct access to the social phenomena under consideration. Instead of relying on some kind of self-report, such as asking people what they would do in a certain situation, you actually observe and record their behaviour in that situation.

Why is observation important in qualitative research?

Observation fosters an in depth and rich understanding of a phenomenon, situation and/or setting and the behavior of the participants in that setting. Observation is an essential part of gaining an understanding of naturalistic settings and its members’ ways of seeing.
