Abstract
We describe the prevalence and nature of cognitive interviewing (CI) for testing survey questionnaires in the United States and compare our results to those from Blair and Presser’s similar study of three decades ago when such testing was relatively new. We find that although CI is now much more common than in 1993, there are still many organizations that do not use it. In addition, we find that there has been only a modest reduction in the great variation of ways CI is conducted both within and across organizations. We interpret this variability mainly as a reflection of the lack of consensus about best practices and call for research that will make consensus about best practices more likely.
我们描述了认知访谈（CI）在美国调查问卷测试中的普及程度和性质，并将我们的结果与布莱尔和普雷瑟三十年前的类似研究结果进行了比较，当时这种测试还相对较新。我们发现，尽管现在 CI 比 1993 年要普遍得多，但仍有许多组织没有使用它。此外，我们还发现，在组织内部和组织之间开展 CI 的方式差异很大，但这种差异只略有减少。我们将这种差异主要解释为对最佳做法缺乏共识的反映，并呼吁开展研究，以便更有可能就最佳做法达成共识。
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
