Resumo(Editors' Note: In place of the usual Field Methods and Techniques section, in this issue we are publishing two articles on interviewing. In the first of these William Foote Whyte presents an example of a non-directive interview with an interpretation of his responses and the reasons for them. The second article, by Eliot D. Chapple, consists of the instructions given to the interviewer on how to conduct an Interaction Chronograph interview. The latter is strictly nondirective in content but has the unusual feature that the interactional behavior of the interviewer is also carefully controlled. He varies his behavior to create conditions of mild stress for the interviewee and to determine experimentally how the latter reacts to standardized amounts of stress. The interviewer's behavior is, therefore, treated as an experimental variable and, consequently, the interview design makes it possible to conduct precise experiments in human relations, the result of which can be timed and measured by the use of the Interaction Chronograph.)
