| Abstract: | Some scripted interview questions, built as multi-unit turns, generate a response before they reach their prescribed completion. Such "untimely" interruption and premature production of responses may generate flawed data. This paper describes how ultimately interruption also presents a problem with regard to non-scripted follow-up questions - or "probes" - to closed survey items. It is tried to show that some probing formats are more vulnerable than others to being interrupted before the listing of a second response option. |
