What type of research involves gathering data from a group and studying the results?

Qualitative
Survey
Naturalistic observation
Case study

The correct answer is: Survey

A survey involves gathering data from a group and studying the results to achieve a summary or overview, making it the most appropriate answer. Qualitative research focuses on exploring and understanding individuals' experiences and perspectives, making it incorrect as it does not involve gathering data from a large group or studying the results. Naturalistic observation involves observing and recording behavior in its natural environment, rather than actively gathering data from a group and studying the results, making it an incorrect option. Case study involves intensive research on a single individual or group, making it incorrect as it does not involve gathering data from a large group. Survey research, on the other hand, involves gathering data from a large group and studying the results, making it the most appropriate answer.
