Disadvantages: - It is subjective - Problems of the past cannot be studied by means of observation. - Having no other option one has to depend on the documents available. - Observations like the controlled observations require some especial instruments or tools for effective working, which are very much costly. - One cannot study opinions by this means. - Attitudes cannot be studied with the help of observations. - Observation involves a lot of time as one has to wait for an event to happen to study that particular event. - The actual presence of the observer himself may affect results 9. Complete answer to any problem or any issue cannot be obtained by observation alone.
