** Sandy's description of "I observe you while you two act normal" would befit a naturalistic observation. The ''key point'' of this is that researchers must not disturb the participants or their environment. Sandy explicitly tells SpongeBob and Patrick about the observation, which means the data is incredibly skewed.
** The informed consent process, where the researcher tells the subjects anything they might be expected to do, is very brief and nonspecific in this episode. There is also no debriefing process at the end, where the researcher explains the purpose of the test and any deception they may have used.

Added DiffLines:

* HollywoodPsych: Sandy's "experiment" breaks some critical rules.
** There's no hypothesis or questions asked. What data is Sandy looking for? What does she expect the results to be? How would other researchers be able to reproduce this test? The goals of exactly what Sandy is trying to accomplish here are unclear to begin with.
** Sandy consistently refers to what she's doing as an "experiment". This does not fit the definition, as it does not have a control group or defined variables.
