  - - - Can restrict self to simple observations
        EG. number of drivers who fail to give way (male/female)
      - Can set up experiments
        EG. Deliberately stalling and counting number of drivers who blast horn; fake a situation

    - - Lack of control
      - Observation can affect natural behaviour; drivers may see you observing and drive more carefully
  - - - Zimbardo (prison experiment): showed possibilities of long-term damage to participants (extreme emotional stress, degrading, deprive of dignity)
      - Milgram studies: authority & obedience (electric shocks)
    - - Review research proposal to check acceptability
      - Makes decision as a group: group polarisation
        Becoming more conservative
      - Desire for knowledge VS protect from harm/informed consent
