Validity:
The validity of the research assessed through triangulation. Obtaining the data from in several stages through observation, open-ended questionnaire also some questions of the interview helped to have different sources of data that can justify and complete the data.
Ethical concerns:
One of the ethical concerns that should have been addressed in this research was the confidentiality of the information of the company that research been conducted in their properties. In order to keep the company’s information from the public no photos or videos collected from the observations [].
The other ethical concern could be the feelings of the participants about their performance in escaping from the room that could lead to blaming each other

for instance, since the presence of the researcher in the room may lead to affect the behaviors of the participants, it could be better if the researcher could watch their behavior through a monitor or a one-way mirror. Also if both of the researchers could take notes of all groups it could prevent some biases of the researchers. The reason that the researcher chose the constructivist worldview is that aside from pragmatic approach none of other worldviews provide a thorough understanding about the nature of a behavior and its process and one of the aims of the researcher was to obtain a dip understanding of how people collaborate and play in escape rooms. By using the post-positivist worldview, it is possible to test and measure the effects of some variables on the collaboration of the participants but it does not give a complete explanation about how and why these interactions happen among people. Therefore, employing the qualitative approach seems a necessity. Furthermore, as the researcher explained in the paper, there are limited number of previous research about the topic in the same context which makes it hard to identify the effective variables on the collaboration also appropriate measurement tools in the escape room context to conduct a quantitative research. Thus, conducting mixed method research requires to have a better understanding of the subject matter. In a similar manner, using the case study methodology is the best way to gain a dip understanding of the
This was a mixed- triangulated study using both qualitative (case study observation) and quantitative methodology..
For this study, the data was generated sequentially and each stage of the research process was informed the next stage. Methods was utilised are: document analysis, one to one semi-structured interviews and non-participant observation with key informants. The staged approach was enabled the researcher to confirm triangulation from multiple sources of evidence and to develop a deeper understanding of the phenomenon. The methods was utilised are as follows:
The three main pillars of philosophy are metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics. Ethics can be defined as the study of morality, or the study of the distinction between right and wrong.
This paper will discuss the method of research to be used, the respondents of the study, the sampling technique, the instrument to be used, the validation of the instrument, the administration of the instrument and the statistical treatment of the data that will be gathered.
To increase internal validity, Meijer suggests using triangulation when collecting data. This process involves gathering information from the same phenomenon through more than one method. Triangulation of data is vital to the trustworthiness of this study. As the study progresses and additional segments of information become known, measures will be taken to validate each piece of information against other sources (i.e. additional interviews, field observations, etc.). Using a second source, according to Silverman (2006), can produce more accurate, comprehensive, and objective findings. Therefore, field observations and interviews will be compared to ensure credibility.
2.4 Collection and analyses of data: The primary data should be collected through structured questionnaire by the researchers from the selected respondents. The secondary data will be collected through personal contact and visit. The data so collected will be analyzed by different statistical techniques and methods.
The methodology used in collecting and analyzing the data of this research will be described. The secondary data were collected to guide and support the study, and the primary data were collected to meet the objectives. Moreover, research and sample design, pilot test, data analysis methods will be described in the following.
This chapter shows the various techniques that the researcher used to carry out the study. It shows the study design, population of the study sample size and selection, data collection methods, data collection instruments, data quality control procedure, and data analysis.
In the process of ascertaining an appropriate research method suitable for data collection, an evaluation into the two primary methods of research will be conducted to ensure the most suited approach is chosen. Qualitative and Quantitative methods are the primary classifications for research. Quantitative research adopts a scientific approach, where initial focus is on theory and literature,
This chapter describes the procedure that was used during the study. This includes data sources, data collection methods used in gathering information from these sources and the methods used in analyzing data.
In this chapter, the focus is on the methodology used in the study. It include the data collection, data source, variables, research design, theoretical research framework, sampling design, test consideration for data analysis, hypotheses statement and conclusion.
This chapter describes the procedures that are use in carrying out this research. It deals with research design, population of study, sampling frame, sample and sampling techniques, research instruments, and analysis.
