Study Notes
Measuring Interest
- Interviews are a common method used to measure interest.
- Interviews may not fully capture the nuanced and sometimes subconscious aspects of interest, leading to potential subjectivity.
- Surveys can sometimes be restricted to reporting quantifiable aspects of interest, neglecting emotional engagement and deeper levels of interest.
- Observational methods provide valuable insights into genuine interest by capturing non-verbal cues and behavioral patterns.
- The use of self-report techniques might be misleading when assessing sustained interest, as individuals' responses can be influenced by factors like social desirability bias.
