Douglas W. Maynard,Hanneke Houtkoop-Steenstra,Nora Cate Schaeffer,Johannes van der Zouwen

Description

An interdisciplinary look at interaction in the standardized surveyinterview

This volume presents a theoretical and empirical inquiry into theinteraction between interviewers and respondents in standardizedresearch interviews. The editors include a range of articles thatshowcase the perspectives of conversation analysts,ethnomethodologists, and survey methodologists, to gain a morecomplete picture of interaction in the standardized surveyinterview than was previously available.

It offersa range of insights into standardized interviewing as interactionand forms a bridge between survey methodology and the study ofinteraction and tacit practices. The articles are arranged intofour subject groups: theoretical orientations, survey recruitment,interaction during the substantive interview, and interaction andsurvey data quality. Articles include:
