Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sanjay is using a survey method by asking identical questions to all of his neighbours using a questionnaire he designed. He is not actively participating in their activities or observing them, nor is he conducting an experiment with manipulated variables. While he may gather insights into the culture of his neighbourhood, he is not conducting an ethnography which is a long-term and in-depth study of a particular culture or community.
