Sociologists, public opinion specialists, anthropologists, psychiatrists, linguists, social and clinical psychologists, family counselors and social workers have reported the use of electronic and mechanical recording devices in their work. In the past, however, the employment of recorders was confined primarily to the clinical or counseling situation; only recent years have witnessed a rapid expansion of their use in field research. In this article, authors describe some of the problems involved in using recorders in the field and make suggestions based on their four-year experiences in using these machines on the Disaster Project of the National Opinion Research Centre. The existing body of literature on the techniques of tape recorded research has dealt with a considerable variety of interviewing problems and situations. From the viewpoint of the field researcher, however, the existing literature has a number of limitations. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 1956 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
