- Observer influence/ tendency of participants to react to the presence of an observer and behave in unnatural ways.

- Observer bias/ tendency of observers who are aware of the study to see record what is expected rather than participant's actual behaviour.

- Time consuming/ taking time to observe (research subject)

- Conveys little about thinking that underlies behaviour

- More resources needed/ expensive

- Environmental factors/ weather/ windy/ rainy/ floods, which are likely to affect behaviour therefore interfere with observation
