the micro level
This research method saves time as the data has already been collected.
secondary research
This concept refers to learning values, norms, and behaviours
socialisation
Parents grounding a child for staying out late is an example of this type of social control
informal social control
Interviewing children without parental consent is considered this.
unethical

This is the main ethical concern when conducting covert research.

inclusiveness and cultural diversity
Qualitative methods like interviews are strong at capturing this type of data.
