Using the Scharff-technique to elicit information: how to effectively establish the “illusion of knowing it all”?

The Scharff-technique is used for eliciting information from human sources. At the very core of the technique is the “illusion of knowing it all” tactic, which aims to inflate a source's perception of how much knowledge an interviewer holds about the event to be discussed. For the current study, we mapped the effects following two different ways of introducing this particular tactic; a traditional way of implementation where the interviewer explicitly states that s/he already knows most of the important information (the traditional condition), and a new way of implementation where the interviewer just starts to present the information that s/he holds (the just start condition). The two versions were compared in two separate experiments. In Experiment 1 (N = 60), we measured the participants’ perceptions of the interviewer's knowledge, and in Experiment 2 (N = 60), the participants’ perceptions of the interviewer's knowledge gaps. We found that participants in the just start condition (a) believed the interviewer had more knowledge (Experiment 1), and (b) searched less actively for gaps in the interviewer's knowledge (Experiment 2), compared to the traditional condition. We will discuss the current findings and how sources test and perceive the knowledge his or her interviewer possesses within a framework of social hypothesis testing.

A Study of One Living School Partnership

Abstract The purpose of this paper was to explore the ways one partnership evaluated its partners and relationships using Gray‟s model of collaboration (2000). The model consists of five approaches that are made up of: problem-focused, relational, cognitive, structural, and political. These approaches were tested at one „Living School‟ partnership that was constituted by a school, a public health department, the City‟s Park and Recreation Department, commercial enterprises, and organizations from the non-profit sector. Eight pre-arranged interviews were conducted using conversational interview technique, with three additional interviews on-site. The results of the research revealed that based on Gray‟s five approaches, this one Living School partnership was found to be successful. Consistent with partnership research, trust, social capital and structure were found to be key ingredients, as well as new themes of leadership, role clarity, and a shared vision were also found to be vital.

Brand Associations of Minor Hockey Tournaments: Understanding the Rep Hockey Parents' Perspective

Tournaments and other hockey-related activities have been calculated to be a significant driver of tourist dollars for many regions across Canada. The competition to attract teams to participate in tournaments, which benefit the tournament organizers and the communities in which they reside, is significant. Consequently, the purpose of the study was to assess the brand associations that representative (rep) minor hockey parents from Ontario’s Greater Golden Horseshoe Region perceive as relevant when considering ideal tournaments for their child to participate in. Brand associations have been classified as the attributes, benefits, or attitudes one uses to develop a perception of a product or service. To investigate the current study, 30 interviews were conducted using a laddering interview technique. Findings indicate that there are seven attributes and nine benefits that impact a tournament’s brand association including: competition, tournament operations, accommodations, bonding, fun, parity, and time management. The interrelationship between the identified attributes and benefits is discussed while recommendations and directions for future research are presented.

A representação política dos movimentos urbanos no conselho das cidades do Pará

Este trabalho aborda a representação política exercida pela sociedade civil no conselho de políticas públicas, visto que nesses espaços ocorre a participação através da representação política de organizações da sociedade civil. Nesse sentido este trabalho realiza um estudo acerca do exercício da representação política dos quatro movimentos urbanos de expressão nacional: Confederação Nacional de Associações de Moradores - CONAM; Central de Movimentos Populares - CMP, Movimento Nacional de Luta por Moradia - MNLM e União Nacional por Moradia Popular - UNMP no Conselho das Cidades do Pará na gestão de 2008 – 2010. Tendo como objetivo refletir como ocorre o processo de representação destes movimentos, o processo de autorização, os vínculos com a base dos seus movimentos no processo de consulta e prestação das ações políticas no Conselho, como ocorre a formulação das propostas políticas e o a compreensão dos representantes acerca do papel dos conselheiros. Foi realizada pesquisa de campo utilizando como instrumental a técnica da entrevista, sendo entrevistados nove conselheiros dos quatro movimentos. A pesquisa constatou que o processo de autorização destes movimentos deriva da legitimidade da história de luta na defesa da bandeira da reforma urbana e que a escolha dos representantes ocorre internamente através da indicação; há um esforço em manter um vínculo com a base do movimento, no entanto, as relações de consulta e prestação de contas ocorrem entre os coordenadores estaduais destes movimentos, demonstrando quão frágeis ainda são esses vínculos. Percebemos que há uma articulação entre estes quatro movimentos na formulação de propostas e na defesa das mesmas, mas que também há uma disputa entre eles por mais entidades filiadas.
