本文运用会话分析的方法和研究成果,对问卷调查中的一般性请求和请求参与的具体个案进行了阐释。最近的调查参与的工作给予了很多关注,显着性理论,但并没有探讨如何在实际展开的互动,面试官和潜在的受访者,这一理论的关键概念。在2004年的威斯康星州纵向研究中,我们使用数字记录和转录的呼叫来研究相互作用。我们描述了潜在的受访者如何呈现相对令人沮丧或鼓励的面试环境,以及面试官如何在他们的请求行动中相对谨慎或假设。我们认为,面试官的能力,以调整他们的行为,以他们的面试环境可以影响是否介绍达到了点,要求参与,这种要求采取的形式,以及样本人的反应。这篇文章有助于理解请求的社会行动,特别是我们如何使用来自互动分析的见解来增加与参与调查的请求的合作。
We draw on conversation analytic methods and research to explicate the interactional phenomenon of requesting in general and the specific case of requesting participation in survey interviews. Recent work on survey participation gives much attention to leverage-saliency theory but does not explore how the key concepts of this theory are exhibited in the actual unfolding interaction of interviewers and potential respondents. We examine interaction using digitally recorded and transcribed calls to recruit participation in the 2004 Wisconsin Longitudinal Study. We describe how potential respondents present interactional environments that are relatively discouraging or encouraging, and how, in response, interviewers may be relatively cautious or presumptive in their requesting actions. We consider how interviewers' ability to tailor their behavior to their interactional environments can affect whether an introduction reaches the point at which a request to participate is made, the form that this request takes, and the sample person's response. This article contributes to understanding the social action of requesting and specifically how we might use insights from analyses of interaction to increase cooperation with requests to participate in surveys.
