In this typical online chat program, the window to the left shows a list of contacts, and the window to the right shows a conversation between the user and one of those contacts. Online chat may refer to any kind of communication over the Internet that offers a real-time transmission of text messages from sender to receiver. Chat messages are generally short in order to enable other participants to respond quickly. Thereby, a feeling similar to a spoken conversation is created, which distinguishes chatting from other text-based online communication forms such as Internet forums and email.
Limitations of the Scientific Method. The scientific method is limited to those phenomena which can be observed or measured. For example, what existed prior to the Big Bang and the known universe is outside of the realm of science to investigate.
RESEARCH LIMITATIONS It is important to gain an understanding of research limitations. Thinking about research limitations may foster critical thinking.Every study, no matter how well it is conducted, has some limitations. This is why it does not seem reasonable to use the words prove and disprove with respect to research findings.or every correlational study, there is the possibility that some third variable caused the two variables without there being a causal relationship between the variables. Correlational research may also have limitations with respect to the generality of the findings.
