  • An Empirical Evaluation of In-Depth Probes Used to Pretest Survey Questions

    Open Access•William Foddy•ARTICLE•Sociological Methods & Research•1998•Cited by: 3•References: 9

    A growing number of survey methodologists have advocated the use of in-depth probes for identifying comprehension problems, inadequate response categories, the perspectives adopted by respondents, and the strategies respondents employ when retrieving information from memory. This article reports the results of an empirical evaluation of the relative effectiveness of a number of the probes that have been used for the first three of these tasks. Th…

More specifically, it is argued that they are reactions to the denial or destruction of a person's ability to achieve and/or maintain an identity that is socially acceptable to him within a particular situation

  • The Concept of Privacy from a Symbolic Interaction Perspective

    Open Access•William Foddy, W H FODDY et al.•ARTICLE•Journal for the Theory of Social…•1980•Cited by: 4•References: 26

    Privacy is defined within a symbolic interaction framework in terms of identity definition and maintenance processes. It is argued that defining privacy within a symbolic interaction framework both generates a number of hypotheses involving the concept of privacy and allows the theorist to draw together several social psychological concepts within the one conceptual schema
