“When You Are Holding a Pen You Think Deeper about What You Write.” Comparing the Experiences of Completing Paper- and Computer-based Participant-aided Sociograms
Past personal network research has highlighted the many trade-offs in data collection strategies but has largely overlooked respondents’ perspectives on the interview experience. We use a within-subjects research design to compare respondents’ experiences with pen-and-paper sociograms and a comparable computer-assisted approach using Network Canvas, among young people in rural KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
