Naturalistic observation involves observing and recording behaviour in a real-world setting without any intervening or manipulating variables. This can allow for a more accurate understanding of naturally occurring behaviour, as compared to manipulated laboratory settings. The other options (case study, correlational study, and self-report) may involve collecting data in a real-world setting, but they do not necessarily involve direct observation of behaviour.
