The style of a research interview is determined in considerable part by the investigator's decisions about whether to make his questions open or closed.1 In 1944, Lazarsfeld suggested that, in the absence of empirical evidence concerning the effects on responses of these two question forms, researchers would have to base their decisions about when to use them on wisdom gained from experience.2 Nearly twenty years later, for lack of systematic studies of effects of open and closed questions, we are still following this advice
