Popis: In a study of the occupational role of school superintendents a relatively unstructured question approach failed to tap role-conflict situations, whereas a combination of a structured check-list series of questions and probes, followed by an open-ended series of questions, succeeded. The role-within-a-role procedure for the interviewer was highly conducive to effective rapport. This research experience suggests that respondent fatigue may depend more upon extentof interest and rapport than on sheer length of the interview.
