“Talking” computers: a reliable and private method to conduct interviews on sensitive topics with children.
A study was conducted to test the hypothesis that interviews delivered by talking computers would elicit more reports of sexual experience and positive feelings toward sex than face-to-face (FTF) interviews with children. A comparison of the results of both interview methods administered to separat...

A comparison of the results of both interview methods administered to separate samples of black children aged between 9 and 15 living in public housing revealed support for the hypothesis. In addition, a subsample of the children who had completed both interviews reported more favorable emotions toward sex in the computer interview. Computer interviews were found to be trustworthy and did not yield higher levels of missing responses than FTF interviews. These findings imply that talking computers can be employed with children across a wide variety of ages to allow a more private interview than is permitted by FTF interviewing. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
